Wrexham’s Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday commemorations announced

Details of this year’s Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday commemorations in Wrexham have been announced.

On Saturday 11th November at 11am, a two-minute silence will be held on Queens Square to commemorate Armistice Day.

At 10.59am a bugler will sound the Last Post, a wartime air-raid siren will sound and the silence will be observed.

Members of the public are invited to attend.

This year’s Annual Service of Remembrance will take place at the RWF Memorial, Bodhyfryd (next to the Memorial Hall off Chester Street), on Sunday, November 12th at 10.55am. All are welcome to attend.

The public are advised that barriers will be put in place at 10.30am at the following locations to allow the parade to pass safely and to secure the surrounding area:

• Chester Street (adjacent to the former Feathers pub)
• Holt Street (by the Welch Fusilier pub)
• Chester Road (near the Chester Road/Powell Road roundabout)

Access to the Bodhyfryd Car Park adjacent to Waterworld will therefore be available until 10.30am.

Wrexham Council say that ‘facilities will be available for elderly, infirm or disabled persons to follow the service from inside the Memorial Hall’.

Yesterday Wrexham.com reported that Wrexham’s WW2 air-raid siren has been repaired ahead of the commemorations.

The new Poppy display was also unveiled yesterday – with team at This is Wrexham taking some magnificent pictures of the display illuminated in red last night.
