A large number of people are expected to attend the annual Hoylake and District Remembrance Sunday service in West Kirby on 10 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, as they have done for many decades.
People attending the service are asked to arrive at 10:30am for a 10:45am start and use the gardens in front and to the side of the memorial.
The parade will start from the top of Beacon Drive at 10:30am. When the service at the war memorial ends at around 11.30am the parade will continue down Grange Hill, taking the salute outside the Concourse, then falling out in Dee Lane.
Following the conclusion of the parade, people are also invited to sign a Book of Remembrance at the Concourse in memory of those from the 149th Regiment Royal Horse Artillery – known as the Hoylake Horse – who lost their lives in WW2. A plaque commemorating those who served is on display in the building, and there will be a speech from Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Captain Hugh Blyth Daglish.
Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Cherry Povall, said: “Communities across Wirral will join others across the UK and beyond this Sunday to honour the courage and sacrifice of the fallen, and all those who have helped to defend the freedoms we have today. We can never forget or take their selflessness for granted.
“Once again, Remembrance Sunday sadly takes place at a time of terrible conflict in the world, which is a sharp reminder of the day’s abiding theme of hope for a more peaceful world.”
