A remembrance parade is to go through Burton upon Trent on Sunday 13th November, forming at Burton Library car park from 9:30am and departing at 9:50am.
The parade, led by Corporal Watchman VI and Dog Handler, will proceed down the High Street into the Market Place, arriving at St. Modwen’s Parish Church for a Service of Remembrance at 10:00am. Residents who wish to attend the Service of Remembrance but do not wish to join the parade are asked to be seated in St Modwen’s Parish Church by 9:50am.
An Act of Remembrance will then take place at the War Memorial on Lichfield Street at 10:55am, including a wreath laying ceremony.
The parade will then reform and return down the High Street back to Burton Library car park with eyes left for the salute outside Barclays Bank.
Cllr Philip Hudson, Mayor of East Staffordshire, said: “We must never forget the sacrifice made by so many brave armed forces members and I hope residents of East Staffordshire will join us in paying our respect to those who risk their lives serving our country.”
