Remembrance Day 2022: Times as Peterborough residents commemorate Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday

On November 11, a two-minute silence and a service will be held at the War Memorial outside of the Town Hall on Bridge Street, which will begin at 10.40am.

Then on Remembrance Sunday (November 13) - a silence and wreath laying ceremony will be held in the same location - starting at 10.45am.

Members of the public have been invited to join the procession at the War Memorial or encouraged to watch the event on a large screen, which will be placed in Cathedral Square, while the silence and wreath laying service will also be streamed on the Peterborough City Council YouTube channel.

The events will be held by both the city council and the Peterborough branch of the Royal British Legion.

Councillor Alan Dowson, Mayor of Peterborough, said: “Remembrance Day is an important event for all of us, and gives us the opportunity to pay our respects and give our thanks to all those who have sacrificed their lives for their country.

"I know the people of Peterborough know the importance of this day as well, and I hope that they are able to join the proceedings in person, on the big screen or online.

“I’d also like to highlight the great work the Poppy Appeal does throughout this country, and hope that people on Peterborough will support this great cause – as they always do. The purchasing and wearing of a poppy is not only a great way to remember those who lost their lives, but also supports the serving and former servicemen and women of today.”
