Remembrance Sunday Victoria Park Leicester

Описание: The City fell silent for Remembrance Sunday commemorations.

People from across Leicester remembered the city’s fallen service men and women at the annual Remembrance service this morning at Victoria Park.

A parade, led by the Seaforth Highlanders Pipes and Drums and comprising members of the Armed Forces, reservists, veterans and cadets, will step off from De Montfort Hall at around 10.40am and make its way to the Arch of Remembrance, ready for the service at 10.55am.

The Lord Bishop of Leicester, the Right Reverend Martyn Snow, will conduct the service with support from former BBC Radio Leicester presenter, Dave Andrews.

A bugler will sound the Last Post before the firing of salutes marks the beginning and the end of the two-minute silence. A piper from the Seaforth Highlanders will play a lament before the service continues.

People in the area are advised that the salutes will create a loud bang, which may cause alarm or distress, particularly to young children or pets.

Official wreaths will be laid by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Leicestershire, Colonel Murray Colville, and The Lord Mayor of Leicester, Councillor Bhupen Dave, together with representatives of local emergency services, military units and faith communities.

Other organisations and veterans’ associations will lay wreaths immediately after the official wreath laying, while members of the public will have an opportunity to lay their wreaths at the end of the service.

The Salvation Army band will accompany hymns, supported by the City of Leicester Singers and the Leicester Cathedral Choir.
