SALISBURY is set to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country at its Annual Remembrance Sunday Service.

The ceremony at the war memorial in Guildhall Square takes place on Sunday November 14 from 11am.

It will be led by the Salisbury branch of the Royal British Legion and supported by Salisbury City Council.

Everyone will gather at the War Memorial for a two minute silence at 11am followed by prayers. Following this, the parade will march along New Canal, where Deputy Lieutenant Minette Batters accompanied by the Mayor Cllr Caroline Corbin, will take the salute.

The parade will then head to St Thomas’s Church for the Sunday Service at 11.40am. All are welcome to attend this service.

The Civic Party will then process back to the Guildhall via St Thomas’s Square.

Blue Boar Row and other roads along the parade route will be shut to traffic between 10.15am and 11.45am and again at 12.15pm until around 1.30pm and traffic diversions will be in place.

On November 11 there will be a small ceremony in the Guildhall Square at 11am to mark Armistice Day which all are also welcome to attend.
