The Mayor of Shrewsbury, Councillor Jon Tandy, will be attending two Remembrance events taking place in the County town.
A Remembrance Sunday service will be held at St Chad’s Church on November 10 at 9.45am.
A civic procession will leave the castle at 9am following the route of Castle Gates, Castle Street, Pride Hill, Mardol Head and St John’s Hill to St. Chad’s Church.
The Mayor, and other civic dignitaries, will walk along with units of HM Forces and Service organisations to music from The Band of the Mercian Regiment.
There will also be a wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial in the Quarry at 11am. Buglers will sound Last Post, which will be followed by two minutes silence.
A March past and salute will follow immediately after the wreath laying ceremony on St. Chad’s Terrace. Music accompanying the march past will be performed by The Band of the Mercian Regiment.
The Mayor of Shrewsbury, Councillor Jon Tandy, will also be present for a two minutes silence on the stroke of the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month. The Mayor will join British Legion representatives in the Square at 10.45am on November 11.
A maroon will sound loudly at precisely 11am to mark the two minutes silence.
Councillor Tandy would like to encourage members of the public to join him in marking the day the guns fell silent in 1918 and to express their gratitude to all those who gave their lives in two World Wars and the conflicts which have followed.
He said: “Remembrance Sunday is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today.
“I feel it is so important to remember those who gave their lives and the best way I can do that is by attending these services and wearing my poppy with pride. I would encourage Shrewsbury residents to come out and join me in the Square on Armistice Day, everyone is welcome.”
