Remembrance Sunday 2006

Remembrance Sunday will be observed in Stornoway in a specific manner. I copy the order, in a modified form, which was posted in the Stornoway Gazette today.

This Sunday is Remembrance Sunday, and in Stornoway there will be three services in separate churches. Each church accommodates different sections of veterans and services. All church services commence at 10.50 am, and participants should assemble at 10.45.

A separate parade will be held at 10.30 from the Royal British Legion, with participants requested to be present at 10.15. The parade will conclude outside the County Hotel in Francis Street.

A wreath-laying service is to be held at the Lewis War Memorial at 12.30pm, and transport there will be arranged to start from the Royal British Legion at 12.15.



All medals should be worn at all occasions mentioned above.
