Because of the recently announced Government lockdown which commences on Thursday 5 November, it is with great sadness that we have to announce that there will be no Remembrance Day event this Sunday 8 November or Remembrance Day, Wednesday November 11th.
This has been agreed after consultation with our friends at Ulverston Parish Church, Ulverston Branch of the Royal British Legion, together with Ulverston Town Band.
There will be no parade, church service or ceremony at the War Memorial because of the restrictions. The Mayor will lay a wreath privately at the war memorial on behalf of the town.
The town council encourages all organisations to also lay wreaths privately at the war memorial and the community to remember at home.
Members of Ulverston Town Band will be playing the Last Post at 11am on Remembrance Sunday from their gardens.
Ulverston Parish Church, in collaboration with Churches Together in Ulverston and the Ulverston Town Band, have pre-recorded a Remembrance Sunday Service which will be available online, on Facebook and on YouTube.
