This year's Remembrance Day Parade and Service will take place on Sunday 13th November. All are invited to come and pay their respects and remember those in our community who have given their lives in conflicts around the world.

The Town Council are working with the Midsomer Norton and Radstock Branch of the Royal British Legion to organise the event. Due to a vehicle being parked within the vicinity of the War Memorial during last years event, a parking suspension has been granted by Bath and North East Somerset Council. The usual road closure will be in place and will run as follows:

10:40hrs – 10:45hrs approx. Parade leaves muster point – West Clewes Recreation Ground / North Road / Radstock Road.

10:40hrs – 10:50hrs approx. Upper reach of High Street closed for parade.

10:40hrs – 11:40hrs approx. Lower reach of High Street closed for service.

11:30hrs – 11:35hrs approx. Parade to march from High Street to MSN St John's Church.

11:30hrs – 13:00hrs approx. High Street to junction with One Stop roundabout B3355/Redfield Road closed - Parade to return and disperse.

The Town Council will undertake to inform all businesses and residents known to be directly affected by the proposed restriction. Road closed signs and barriers will be in place and Marshalls will be available to advise traffic and coordinate emergency access on the day.

The large lamp post poppies are now up, and the Town Council have purchased their wreath for laying at the ceremony. The parade will halt at the War Memorial and two minute's silence will be observed at 11am. The Remembrance service and the laying of wreaths will follow, before the parade marches to St John's Church for the church service. 

We would encourage all those taking part in the Parade, and attendees, to reduce the spread of respiratory infections, including COVID-19.   Please could all participants and attendees not attend if feeling unwell, have tested positive for COVID-19, and take extra precautions if living with someone who is symptomatic, or has tested positive for COVID-19.

We look forward to seeing you on 13th November, and should you wish to lay a wreath, please do let us know and we will pass details on to the Royal British legion.
