The War Memorial in the Carfax will be the focus of this year’s Remembrance Sunday service in Horsham at 11am on Sunday 13 November.
The timings for the service will see the Remembrance Sunday Parade arrive at Horsham’s War Memorial at approximately 10.50am.
Led by The Rev’d Canon Lisa Barnett, Team Rector of Horsham, and Bishop of Horsham The Rt. Rev’d Ruth Bushyager, the service will begin with the hymn 'O God Our Help in Ages Past'.
This will be followed by The Last Post.
The vicar will then lead the Exhortation:
'They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.'
The two minutes silence, in memory of the fallen, will then be held at 11am.
The Chairman of Horsham District Council, Cllr Kate Rowbottom, will lead the wreath laying on behalf of the people of the Horsham District.
She will be followed by Jeremy Quin MP, then Chairman of the Royal British Legion Horsham Branch Zäl Rustom and a member of the Royal Observer Corps.
Representatives of the armed services and youth organisations will then lay their wreaths, each as a mark of solemn respect.
When the last wreath has been laid, the Parade Marshall will call the Parade to attention and one verse of the National Anthem will be sung.
A blessing and prayers will mark the end of the service at the War Memorial.
A church service will follow at the Parish Church of St. Mary The Virgin in the Causeway, Horsham to which everyone is invited.
