SALISBURY is set to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country with its annual services this weekend. 

Yesterday, on Armistice Day, crowds gathered to honour veterans, serving personnel, and the fallen at the Salisbury War Memorial.

And tomorrow the city will hold its Annual Remembrance Sunday Service at the War Memorial in Salisbury Market Place from 11am.

The ceremony 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 Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Wiltshire William Wyldbore-Smith accompanied by the Right Worshipful Mayor Cllr Tom Corbin, will take the salute.

The parade will then process 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 Salisbury Guildhall via St Thomas’ 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 1.30pm approximately to ensure crowd safety and traffic diversions will be in place.
