Festival of Remembrance - Wakefield Cathedral Friday 8th November UPDATED

Mayor's Remembrance Ceremony at Wakefield Cathedral.

I know that this is an evening that Cllr Brian Holmes would have absolutely attended. It is right and proper that it goes ahead and brings a chance for the people of Wakefield to gather before the other ceremonial aspects of remembrance.

See you there?

6.45 for 7pm,

UPDATE
A very positive evening of remembrance. Church and Civic Dignitaries, Royal British Legion, Cadet Forces and community, with musical backing from The City of Wakefield Metropolitan Band and a performance by the Crigglestone Theatre Company. Two memorable pieces by Edward Elgar, Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 and Nimrod, a service with thoughtful readings, classical hymns and ceremonial.

There are similar acts of remembrance happening all around the country. Royal British Legion from the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow evening, Services on Sunday and further acts of remembrance on Monday morning.

Lest we forget... those who gave their lives for ours and for all who have put themselves in harms way for us and a chance to think of those who remain.

Wear your poppy with pride.
