Stone Town Council warmly invites members of the public to join Town Councillors and members of ex-Service Organisations in remembering those who gave their lives for us at its Remembrance and Armistice commemorations.

Remembrance Sunday
The Annual Parade, together with Services of Remembrance at the War Memorial in Granville Square and later at the Parish Church of St. Michael and St. Wulfad, will take place on Sunday 9 November.

The arrangements are as follows: –

10.15 a.m. Parade Personnel to assemble at the bottom of the High Street.

10.35 a.m. Parade, led by Stone Scout & Guide Band, will proceed along the High Street to the War Memorial, where Florence Brass Band will play.

10.45 a.m. Presentation of Wreaths in accordance with an Order of Presentation (to follow). Persons laying wreaths (including any not on the Order of Presentation) should kindly report to Mr I. Prescott, the Parade Marshal, during the assembly in the High Street, to be briefed on the wreath laying ceremony.

All those laying wreaths will be asked to walk together in the parade or asked to assemble together prior to the parade reaching the top of the High Street and asked to stand near to the War Memorial in order to streamline the laying of the wreaths.

At the conclusion of the Service at the War Memorial, the Parade will proceed to the Parish
