Remembrance services in Trafford 2021

wreaths

 

Remembrance Sunday services in Trafford will be taking place across the borough on 14 November.

The events will give people in Trafford the chance to pay tribute to those service men and women who have given their lives in both world wars and in more recent conflicts.

Last year, the Covid restrictions meant only one service was held in the borough which was by invitation only. This year there will again be eight services across the borough, all of which will be open to the public. However, in line with current guidance, people are asked not to attend if they have symptoms of Covid. Residents are also being asked to take a lateral flow test beforehand and not to attend if the test is positive in order to minimise the risk of infection.

The Mayor of Trafford, Councillor Laurence Walsh, will lead civic dignitaries at the civic service, which takes place this year at the war memorial on Chester Road, Stretford. The service will start at 10.55am, following the arrival of the parade of uniformed organisations.

The Mayor said:

“It is a great privilege to be able to honour our heroes who gave their lives defending our precious freedoms.

It is especially poignant after not being able to hold services throughout our borough last year. I would urge everyone to pay their respects on Remembrance Sunday and reflect on the sacrifice our service men and women have made on our behalf.”
