About us
Representatives from a visiting Brazilian navy ship and the US Coastguard will be joining hundreds of veterans, serving members of the armed forces, dignitaries and members of the public at Plymouth’s Remembrance Sunday Service on Sunday 8 November.
The Bishop of Exeter, The Rt Revd Dr Mike Harris, will lead this year's service on Plymouth Hoe, which remembers all those who lost their lives in both world wars and in all conflicts.
He will be joined by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Kevin Sproston, the Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Devon, Rear Admiral Chris Snow, as well as MPs and elected members representing all political groups at the Council.
The service will begin with a two-minute silence at the Royal Naval Memorial at 11am.
The Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Devon will then lay a wreath, followed by the Lord Mayor (on behalf of the people of Plymouth) and then the Naval Base Commander and other representatives of the armed forces.
Sailors from the visiting Brazilian ship NDM Oiapoque and the US Coastguard, will also lay a wreath, followed by the Military Kids Club Heroes and pupils from local schools.
The Bishop of Exeter will conduct the service, which will last for around 20 minutes.
Members of the public and local organisations will be invited to pay their respects and lay their personal wreaths at the end of the service, on the north side of the memorial, following the departure of the civic dignitaries.
The processional party will then move to the Civilian Memorial in Lockyer Street, where the Bishop will say a prayer followed by a poem read by Arezoo Farahzad, Chair of the Plymouth Centre for Faiths and Cultural Diversity. Wreaths will then be laid.
All those attending are reminded that parking around the Hoe is limited. Some spaces will be available on the Hoe Promenade for blue badge holders but this will be on a first come, first served basis.
A limited number of seats will be available within the main arena for veterans but must be reserved in advance – please email lordmayor@plymouth.gov.uk or call 01752 306088 as soon as possible
Plymouth's Remembrance Sunday Service will be streamed on our YouTube channel.
