Remembrance Events in Loughborough and Charnwood
Posted on 21/10/09
newsdesk
Once again, Charnwood Borough Council is proud to support the Royal British Legions Remembrance Events which will be taking place this year. The details are:
Garden of Remembrance Service
Saturday, 31st October 2009
Queens Park, Loughborough
(New Street Entrance, Near John Storer House)
Service begins at 10am
A short service will take place to officially open the Garden of Remembrance,
which will be the first of three events being held in Loughborough to commemorate Remembrance 2009.
During the ceremony The Mayor, Coun Roy Brown, will place the first wooden cross and poppy in the Garden of Remembrance.
As Charnwood has a distinguished military history, the Garden of Remembrance is a fitting tribute within the borough where members of the public are able to place a cross in memory of a loved one or as an act of general reflection on the human cost of war.
Remembrance Sunday Service and Parade
Sunday, 8th November 2009
Carillon Tower, Queens Park, Loughborough
Service begins at 10.45am
Parade to form up at Southfields at 10am
This momentous event, which in previous years has been the largest in the East Midlands, is due to be attended by more than 1,000 serving and ex service personnel who will parade through the town centre. The parade, represented by over 25 local uniformed organisations, will join 3,000 members of the public at the Carillon for a service conducted by Rev David Featonby & Rev Rachel Ross.
The Mayor, Coun Roy Brown, will lay the first wreath on behalf of the citizens of Charnwood.
At the end of the service the parade will march to the Market Place where the salute will be taken by the Mayor and Major Wing.
Armistice Day Service
Wednesday, 11th November 2009
Carillon Tower
Commences at 10.45am
Two Minutes Silence at 11am
The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month attained a special significance in the post-war years. This short service is an opportunity to mark the moment when hostilities ceased on the Western Front and also to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice around the world, in subsequent conflicts.
This year the Two Minute Silence will begin and end with the firing of maroon rockets to signify across the borough this important act of remembrance. These are very loud rockets that will be able to be heard over a two mile radius.
Members of the public are most welcome at all events
