On Sunday 10th November, Lowestoft will be marking Remembrance Sunday with its annual Parade and Service.

The service, taking place by the War Memorial on Royal Plain, will start around 10:50am following the parade which will make its way along the promenade from Claremont Pier.  The parade is being led by soldiers of F (Sphinx) Parachute Battery Royal Horse Artillery, 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery.

The two-minutes silence at 11am will then be marked by the sound of gun fire from the 105mm (L118) Light Gun from F (Sphinx) Parachute Battery Royal Horse Artillery, 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery. 

The wreath laying this year will be led by the Deputy Lieutenant for Suffolk, Deborah Cadman, OBE.  Following the wreath laying, anyone wishing to lay a personal tribute at the War Memorial will be welcome to do so.

The service sheet is now available to download from our website for anyone wishing to follow the service on a digital device or print it off at home.
