Details revealed of Southampton's Remembrance Sunday service

Civic dignitaries and members of the public are set to gather in Southampton on Remembrance Sunday to pay their respects to those who have died in conflict.

The service will take place at the Cenotaph in Guildhall Square from 10.50am on Sunday, 13 November, and will be led by the Lord Mayor of Southampton, Councillor Jacqui Rayment.

Other dignitaries in attendance will include the High Sheriff of Hampshire, Mr Ashley Horsey, and the Bishop of Southampton, The Right Reverend Debbie Sellin.

The service will begin with the parade of standards and a short act of worship, followed by the laying of wreaths at the Cenotaph by civic dignitaries, representatives of the armed forces, and members of the public.

The Last Post will be sounded, followed by a two-minute silence, and the Reveille. The service will conclude with the singing of the National Anthem.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the service and are encouraged to bring their own wreaths to lay at the Cenotaph.

The Cenotaph is a Grade II listed building and was unveiled in 1925. It is made of Portland stone and is inscribed with the names of the men and women of Southampton who died in the First and Second World Wars.

Remembrance Sunday is a day to remember those who have died in conflict and to give thanks for the peace that we enjoy today. It is a time to reflect on the sacrifices that have been made by our armed forces and to show our support for those who continue to serve.
