Held on Sunday 12 November, the people of Leeds are once again invited to join the Lord Mayor, Councillor Al Garthwaite as she lays a wreath at the war memorial on Victoria Gardens on behalf of the city.

At 10:50am a Civic procession will leave Leeds Civic Hall and head to Victoria Gardens where a number of wreaths will be laid by dignitaries. This procession will as tradition, follow behind ex-service men and women plus members of ex-service organisations and current serving military organisations who will gather outside Leeds Museum for 10:30am before marching to the war memorial.

Led by the Rev’d Canon Paul Maybury, the Rector of Leeds, the multi-faith service will be shown on two big screens around the war memorial to allow members of the public who are not near the front to watch the proceedings. At 11am there will be a two-minute silence which will be preceded by a bugler who will sound the Last Post. After the service ,and in a slight change to previous years, the Lord Mayor and civic representatives will proceed to the steps of the Civic Hall where a salute and march past will take place.
