We’ve rounded up all the key details about Sunday’s Remembrance Day service in Nottingham
This year’s Remembrance Service in Nottingham city will take place on Sunday, November 10 at the city’s war memorial at Victoria Embankment.
The ceremony will begin at 10.45am and include the two-minute silence and wreath laying. The Nottinghamshire Band of The Royal Engineers, accompanied by the Nottingham Hospitals’ Choir will provide music for the service.
The ceremony will begin with the traditional parade. From the west side closure (at Wilford Grove/Embankment), the parade comprising Armed Forces personnel, cadets and veterans will form up before marching down to the memorial.
After the service, the parade will depart from the memorial and march down towards the east side closure (Embankment – Bunbury Street) saluting the Lord Lieutenant, before falling out inside the road closure at the Bunbury Street end.
Under the instruction of the Regimental Sgt Major, wreaths will be laid by:

Wreaths will also be laid by veterans, community groups and faith representatives.
People wishing to pay their respects and observe the ceremony are very welcome.
To help with this, there will be a large screen on Victoria Embankment for the public to be able to watch the ceremony.
A large PA system will ensure people can also hear the service.
This solution will help prevent crowding that can occur when people are struggling to see what is taking place.
As in previous years, there will be no activity at Old Market Square on Remembrance Sunday due to the war memorial being located at Victoria Embankment.
Where will the road closures be?
The road along the Embankment will be closed from the junction of Wilford Grove to the junction of Bunbury Street.
Cars will not be allowed to park on the closed section of the Embankment. Cars can be parked in other areas, as normal.
