Bassetlaw District Council is proud to once again host the annual Remembrance Day parade in Worksop as we will remember and honour members of our Armed Forces who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world.
We welcome current and former members of the armed forces, their families and local residents to join us on Sunday 8th November to remember their service and sacrifice.
Len Rubie, Chairman of the Worksop and District branch of the Royal British Legion said:
“Remembrance Sunday is an opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life. It is also an opportunity to think of the families and loved ones of those who have served. It’s a source of great pride that our local community always turns out to support Remembrance Sunday and we are very grateful that so many people participate in both the parade and service.”
The parade will ‘form-up’ in front of the Town Hall on the Old Market Square, at around 10:20am under the direction of the Parade Marshall, M L Simcox. The Deputy Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, Richard Bond and the Chair of the District Council will then inspect the Parade accompanied by music played by the Worksop Miners’ Welfare Band.
At around 10:40am, the parade will ‘march off’ from the Market Square down to the War Memorial via Potter Street and Watson Road.
The public can observe a short wreath laying Service and Act of Remembrance conducted by Father Spicer, which will take place at the War Memorial at approximately 10:50am. The Worksop Salvation Army Band will play ‘The Last Post’ before a two minutes silence at 11:00am followed by the playing of the ‘Reveille’.
Following the Act of Remembrance at the War Memorial, the parade will return to the Old Market Square at Worksop Town Hall for ‘Parade dismissal'.
Temporary road closures affecting Bridge Street, Potter Street, Watson Road, Priorswell Road and Memorial Avenue will be in place from 10:15am to midday to facilitate the parade.
