Remembrance Sunday

Bridport’s annual Remembrance Parade and Service on Sunday 10 November will as usual mark the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in war.

The event, organised by Bridport Town Council, Parade Commander Brigadier John Dean, Bridport Team Ministry and a range of forces, community groups, and volunteers, will commence with a parade through the town centre by representatives and veterans of HM Armed Forces, and local groups and organisations.

Accompanied by the Wessex Military Band, the parade will move off from East Street at approximately 10.40am following inspection by the Town Mayor, Cllr Anne Rickard. The Mayor will lead the Parade, and observance of the traditional two minute silence at the War Memorial. Wreath laying will follow, along with the Mayor’s address and the Service of Remembrance in St Mary’s Church.

Town Centre road closures will be in place for the parade from 10.30am until approximately 1.00pm.

Local residents and visitors to the town centre are asked not to park in the vicinity of St Mary’s Church after 7.00am on the morning of Sunday 10 November. Road closures will be lifted as soon as it is safe to do so.
