Remembrance Sunday Parade in Town

[ytee 10]

Does anyone know what time will the service be on Sunday in town?

 

Cheers

I think its usually 11am outside City Hall!

11am is the silence.

 

The marching starts before, a few words building up - then a silence, followed by the Godly bit.

 

Estimate 10.30 start as a safe bet.

A few of us go down and then get a few pints for the Veterans in Wetherspoons afterwards.

 

Its always a pleasure to chat with those heroes!

What a nice gesture that is.

I try and make it every year. Same faces in the crowd. Same brave veterans marching, but sadly fewer year by year.

 

If you've never been then you should try - it's a real humbling experience

..................only been once. I cried my eyes out when the veterans marched, I prefer to watch it on the tv at home.

Don't forget the Spanish Civil war lads at the Piece Gardens memorial its only a short walk from Barkers Pool and seems to be forgotten every year.

Top lads...... Well done to all of you, I would imagine your gesture as well as the ale goes down well.
