 How to mark Remembrance Sunday in Kettering

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 10 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 Monday 11 November, Remembrance Day, there will be an Act of Remembrance at 11am at the War Memorial, in Sheep Street.

The Mayor of Kettering, Cllr Craig Skinner, 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.

Cllr Skinner said: "This is a chance for us to reflect on those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world. Everybody is welcome to come and attend this events and pay their respects marking past and present conflicts."

To enable the event to be staged safely, Sheep Street will be closed from 1 to 5pm on Sunday 10 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.
