The Lieutenant Governor, His Excellency Mr Adam Wood, is to attend Ramsey Town Commissioners’ Remembrance Sunday service on November 9th.
Also in attendance will be a contingent from HMS Ramsey, a Royal Navy minehunter with which the town is affiliated.
Led by the Rev Chris Lowden the service will start at 10:50am prompt with two minute’s silence at 11am, followed by prayers and the laying of wreaths, after which members of the Armed Forces and service veterans will parade from Water Street then along Parliament Street towards East Street with His Excellency taking the salute from the cenotaph in the Courthouse gardens as the parade passes.
In accordance with protocol on occasions when the Lieutenant Governor is to attend, participants are requested to arrive promptly for the service in advance of His Excellency.
Ramsey Town Commissioners’ chairman Captain Nigel Malpass said: ‘We are delighted that His Excellency will be attending this year’s Remembrance Sunday service. The newly regenerated Courthouse gardens will provide a suitably dignified setting for what we anticipate will be an especially well attended service, given the presence of His Excellency and personnel from HMS Ramsey and that this year marks the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.’
Motorists are advised that from 10.30am to 12noon on Sunday November 9th Court Row, Water Street and Parliament Street from East Street to Peel Street will be closed.
