Two onlookers hold flags and watch a service as it takes place.
Arrangements are in place for the Royal British Legion’s traditional Remembrance Parade and Service in Sleaford on Sunday, November 10.
The Parade will step off from Station Road at 10.30am, moving along Southgate to the Market Place where it will halt and line up on the road for the Act of Remembrance to be held in front of the War Memorial.
The War Memorial will be accessible in order that within the service wreaths are laid directly at it by representatives.
Public attendance is welcomed as usual, although positioning will be different. The arrangements have been made by the Sleaford & District Branch of the Royal British Legion in association with the district and town councils, parish church and other agencies in view of the ongoing work on the market square.
At the end of the service, the parade will move on to the NKDC Car park at Lafford Terrace, as usual.
On November 11, there will be a short service at 11am at St Denys’ Church. There will be similar access at the War Memorial during this service, however there will be no laying of wreaths as those will have been presented on Remembrance Sunday.
No construction works will be undertaken at Market Place by Smith Construction during either event.
