The ceremony will honour the fallen through the national two minutes' silence, continuing the historic 1919 tradition decreed by King George V to remember all who served, and those who never returned.

The solemn gathering will offer a meaningful opportunity for the town to come together in stillness and reflect upon the sacrifices made by armed forces personnel past and present.

All members of the public are invited to attend the service in the Garden of Remembrance and join the local community and wider nation in remembering all who fought and fell.
