Peterborough will fall silent on Remembrance Sunday (November 13) in honour of the fallen.
Peterborough City Council, in conjunction with the city’s Royal British Legion branch will commemorate both Armistice Day, Remembrance Sunday and wreath laying at the war memorial outside the Town Hall in Bridge Street.
The Armistice two-minute silence service will commence from 10:40am on November 11 and Remembrance Sunday at 10:45am on November 13.
Mayor of Peterborough, Cllr Alan Dowson, said: “Remembrance Day is an important event for all of us, and gives us the opportunity to pay our respects and give our thanks to all those who have sacrificed their lives for their country.
“I know the people of Peterborough know the importance of this day as well, and I hope that they are able to join the proceedings in person, on the big screen or online.”
Members of the public are invited to join the procession at the war memorial or to watch the event on the large screen which will be placed in Cathedral Square, whilst the silence and wreath laying service will also be streamed on Peterborough City Council’s YouTube channel.
