The 2017 Douglas Borough Council Remembrance Sunday service will be held on Sunday November 12.
A parade will form at Market Hill at 9.15am and move off at 9.30am from Market Hill through Duke Street, Strand Street, Castle Street, Marina Road, St Thomas’ Walk, Market Street and Church Road Marina to St Thomas’s Church where, on arrival, the parade will file through the Finch Road entrance.
The church service will begin at 10am and be co-ordinated by Canon Philip Frear with the Archdeacon of the Isle of Man, the Ven Andrew Brown, offering prayers.
The service will end at 10.40am to allow time for those present to parade to the war memorial to observe the two minutes’ silence at 11am, which will be followed by the laying of wreaths.
The final parade will then form on the promenade roadway alongside the war memorial and, after the salute is taken opposite the Gaiety Theatre by the Mayor of Douglas Debbie Pitts, the parade will proceed into Marina Road and retrace the route to Market Hill.
In the event of adverse weather any or all of the parades may be abandoned. The observance of the two minutes’ silence at the war memorial will, however, proceed.
