Manchester will come together on Sunday 8th November for its annual Remembrance Sunday service, honouring the courage and sacrifice of members of the Armed Forces community.
The free public event will take place at the Manchester Cenotaph in St Peter’s Square, from 10.30am until midday, featuring military veterans, serving personnel, cadets and civic representatives. A two-minute silence will be observed at 11am to remember those who lost their lives in conflict.
The Lord Mayor of Manchester, Councillor Shaukat Ali, has encouraged residents, families and visitors to attend and pay their respects. The commemorations will also take place across the city, supported by Manchester City Council’s partnership with the Royal British Legion. Visitors are advised to plan ahead, as road closures and temporary tram service suspensions around St Peter’s Square will be in place during the event.
