Kettering residents are invited to help commemorate all those who sacrificed their lives for our country.
Kettering Town Council and the Kettering Branch of the Royal British Legion will be holding an event this year on Remembrance Sunday 9 November.
There will be a parade and Service of Remembrance, starting at 2pm in Gold Street, after which dignitaries and troops will parade along High Street to the Market Place for the Service of Remembrance.
On Tuesday 11 November, Remembrance Day, there will be an Act of Remembrance at 10:45am at the War Memorial, in Sheep Street.
The Mayor of Kettering, Cllr Ben Jameson, will represent the townsfolk of Kettering at the event, as well as representatives from different faith groups, emergency services, scouts, guides, cadets, veterans and other local organisations.
He said: “I am honoured to be taking part in this year’s Remembrance events in Kettering and to be able to pay tribute to all those who gave their lives for this country. Everyone is welcome to attend these two events, and give their respects to our armed forces.”
To enable the event to be staged safely, Sheep Street will be closed from 1 to 4pm on Sunday 9 November. Road closure signs around the area will direct traffic to alternative routes and the road will be opened as soon as possible after the crowds have cleared.
