The city of Salisbury is set to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country at its annual Remembrance Sunday Service.
The service will take place at the War Memorial in Salisbury Market Place on Sunday, 12 November 2023, from 11.00 am.
The ceremony will be led by the Salisbury Branch of the Royal British Legion and supported by Salisbury City Council and St Thomas’s Church.
Everyone will gather at the War Memorial for a 2-minute silence at 11.00 am followed by prayers.
Following this, the parade will march along New Canal, where Deputy Lieutenant Sebastian Warrack, accompanied by the Under-Sheriff of Wiltshire Christopher Bromfield and Right Worshipful Mayor Cllr Atiqul Hoque, will take the salute.
The parade will then proceed to St. Thomas’s Church for the Sunday Service at 11.40 am.
All are welcome to attend this service. The Civic Party will then process back to Salisbury Guildhall via St Thomas’ Square.
Blue Boar Row and other roads along the parade route will be shut to traffic between 10.15 am and 11.45 am and again from 12.15 pm until 1.30 pm approximately to ensure crowd safety, and traffic diversions will be in place.
Due to the current Fisherton Street works and one-way traffic system, we advise that the public avoid driving into the city via Fisherton Street during this time.
Please also avoid parking in Central Car Park on the morning of the event, as further delays are expected due to these closures.
On Saturday, 11th November 2023, there will be a small ceremony in the Guildhall Square at 11.00 am to mark Armistice Day, which all are welcome to attend.
