SCARBOROUGH ACTS OF REMEMBRANCE 2026: Laying Poppies on the Sea service
Scarborough residents are invited to join the traditional ‘Laying Poppies on the Sea’ Remembrance Sunday commemoration, taking place on Sunday, November 8.
Organised by the Scarborough Branch of the Royal British Legion, the special multi-stage service will begin at 9.30am at Queen Street Methodist Church.
There, formal Acts of Remembrance, a Drumhead Ceremony, a Poppy Drop, and the Blessing of Standards and Wreaths will take place finishing by 10.35am, when a solemn public parade led by the Band of the Scarborough Sea Cadets will march from the church to the Lifeboat House and West Pier.
The service will then move to the Lifeboat Slipway at 10.40am for concluding Acts of Remembrance, the observation of the national two minutes' silence, and the laying of poppies on the sea.
