A PARADE and service is being held in Keighley on Remembrance Sunday (November 14).
The parade – comprising civic dignitaries, representatives from the Royal British Legion, veterans and groups – will depart from Russell Street at 9.35am and head to the Shared Church.
Capacity in the church will be restricted, so the service is for invited guests and veterans only, but proceedings will be relayed through speakers outside and live streamed via the Keighley Parish Youtube page.
The church service will finish at 10.30am, when the parade will reconvene and make its way to Town Hall Square – for a continuation of the service prior to the two-minute silence at 11am and wreath laying.
Town mayor, Cllr Julie Adams, said: “This is an important day in our calendar. It is a time to remember all those who gave their lives for our today. We are pleased that we can hold the parade and service this year and we hope to see many members of the Keighley public attend the outside proceedings.”
