Penzance Council has confirmed two public events as the Parish prepares to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
Remembrance Sunday – 9th November
The annual Remembrance Sunday Parade and Service will take place on Sunday 9th November at the War Memorial at Battery Rocks. The service will be led by Rev Derath Durkin, with Rev Howard Peskett reading translated Cornish prayers.
Due to essential gas works by Wales & West Utilities at The Greenmarket, this year’s parade will begin from the top of Chapel Street at Queens Square, rather than the usual muster point at St John’s Hall.
Key timings on Remembrance Sunday:
-
10:15am – The Civic Parade will form-up at the top of Chapel Street in Queens Square, outside the Co-op and Globe & Ale House.
-
10:35am – The Parade will set off for the march to the War Memorial at Battery Rocks.
-
10:55am – Remembrance Service and wreath laying.
Members of the public are welcome to watch the parade and attend the service.
Following the service, Penzance Royal British Legion will provide refreshments and a buffet at their clubhouse on Bread Street, open to everyone who wishes to attend.
