On the 104th anniversary of the 1918 armistice, Hull will remember the millions of people who died in the First World War and subsequent conflicts.
The annual service of remembrance will take place at 10.55am on Sunday 13 November, following a parade from Pease Street to the city center Cenotaph.
From the Guildhall, civic heads and dignitaries will march to the Cenotaph. At 11am, there will be a two-minute silence.
Rev Dominic Black, Vicar of Hull Minster, and the Right Reverend Dr Eleanor Sanderson, Bishop of Hull, will conduct the Service of Remembrance. Also speaking will be the Lord Mayor’s Chaplain, Rev Canon Paul Greenwell.
The Lord Mayor and Admiral of the Humber, Councillor Christine Randall, will take the salute following the service.
Veterans associations, serving members of the armed forces, St John Ambulance, and blue light services will participate in the march past. Humberside Police’s band will lead the parade.
Lord Mayor, Councillor Christine Randall said:
“This poignant service attracts thousands of people each year who want to pay their respects to the millions that have given their lives during the conflict.
“It’s an incredibly moving day and one I’m privileged to be part of.”
A lighting show themed around poppies will accompany the service in Queen Victoria Square, where visitors will be able to reflect and remember.
