The service will take place at the Lincoln War Memorial on the High Street, commencing around 10:15am. This change allows residents, visitors, and organisations to gather together to remember and honour those who have served in the Armed Forces.
Remembrance Day commemorates the anniversary of the Armistice coming into effect at 11am on 11 November 1918, marking the end of fighting in the First World War. The nation observes a two-minute silence at 11am to remember those lost in conflict.
A civic procession, led by Lincoln’s Town Crier, will depart the Guildhall at 10:40am, proceeding down the High Street to the War Memorial. Participants will include the Mayor of Lincoln and Civic Party, councillors, civic representatives, military personnel, and invited guests.
The service will be conducted by Reverend Steven Holt, with wreaths laid at the War Memorial. Standard bearers organised by the Royal British Legion will also be in attendance.
Holding the service on Remembrance Day itself allows our city to come together at the moment the nation pauses to remember and reflect those who served in the Armed Forces for our country. We welcome residents, visitors, businesses and organisations to join us in paying tribute to all those who have served, and continue to serve, in the Armed Forces.
The service is scheduled to conclude around midday. Members of the public are welcome to attend and pay their respects. Businesses or organisations wishing to lay a wreath should contact civic@lincoln.gov.uk.
