The annual Hoylake and District Remembrance Sunday service takes place on Grange Hill in West Kirby on 13 November.

Veterans and serving service personnel will be among those heading to the Hoylake and West Kirby War Memorial to remember those who lost their lives in conflicts.

New render has been placed on the War Memorial plinth in time for the service, while the Friends of Grange Hill have been clearing footpaths, trimming hedges and cutting grass.

People are asked to arrive at 10:30am for a 10:45am start and, when the service ends, a parade will continue down Grange Hill, taking the salute in West Kirby, then falling out in Dee Lane.

Mayor of Wirral and West Kirby councillor, Jeff Green – who normally attends the local service but is this year leading civic tributes at Hamilton Square – said: “Every year thousands of people come together at war memorials in towns and villages across Wirral to share a few moments of reflection and show their appreciation for all those who have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

“Those services are only possible thanks to the hard work of the many volunteers who organise and take part in them, so we all owe them our gratitude.”
