Norwich Remembers: Council sets out its plans for Remembrance Sunday

The commemorations will begin at 10am at the War Memorial outside City Hall on St Peters Gate, with the assembling of current and ex service personnel, civic dignitaries, emergency service representatives and members of the public.

Reverend Canon Edward Carter, of St Peter Mancroft, will lead the service of remembrance, which will include laying wreaths at Norwich War Memorial and prayers, followed by The Last Post (the traditional final salute to the fallen) to mark the start of the national two-minute silence at 11am.

After a blessing, the parade will march off at around 11:05am, from St Peters Street, down Gaol Hill, along London Street, Opie Street, Castle Meadow, Agriculture Hall Plain, Upper King Street, Tombland to Norwich Cathedral.

Following a salute on Cathedral Close, everyone is invited to enter Norwich Cathedral for a service from 11:40am.

All are welcome to attend, as well as lay any wreaths or tributes after the service has concluded.

The Lord Mayor of Norwich, Councillor Vivien Thomas said: "As a council we remain deeply honoured to play a leading role in planning our city's remembrance commemorations every year.

"The period of remembrance is a sacred time for us all with our community coming together from all walks of life in gratitude, solidarity, and respect to remember all those who have served and died in conflict for our country."
