WESTON-super-Mare will again fall silent on November 10 at 11am to remember those who have served the country through our Armed Forces.
Grove Park will be packed with thousands of people for Remembrance Sunday.
A parade of The Mayor, cadets, military personnel – past and present – scouts and guides will set off from the High Street on Sunday at 10.25am, accompanied by a band.
This year Town Council dignitaries will set off from the new offices at 32 Waterloo Street.
A service, featuring hymns, wreath laying and the national anthem will follow.
A two-minute silence will be observed at 11am.
People attending the service at Grove Park are asked to print off or even better read from their phone an order of service, which will be found https://wsm-tc.gov.uk/news-events/grove-park-remembrance-sunday/ to ensure there are enough copies for everyone and to save the environment.
A field of remembrance will be set up to the right of the war memorial, where people are allowed to leave tributes to the fallen.
However, organisers ask that this is not done during the service.

At 10.50am the parade led by the RBL parade master Garry Hawkes will march off from Lancers Corner to Santander where there will be a short service of remembrance at 10.58am led by the RBL Padre Rev Peter Ashman.
