Worcester Cathedral to mark Remembrance Sunday
The service will be in remembrance of the sacrifice made by our armed forces
Worcester will mark Remembrance Sunday by holding a service to remember those who fought in wars on behalf of the UK.
The service will thank those who sacrificed their lives and those who suffered injuries in battle.
All are welcome to attend the service which begins at 10am inside, attendees will then have the chance to lay a wreath at the war memorial outside the Cathedral.
This year marks 100 years since the War Memorial outside the Cathedral was unveiled. Originally meant as a memorial for those who died in World War One, the memorial was later inscribed to remember those who died in World War Two.
War Memorial and Remembrance Sunday now marks an occasion when people across the country give thanks to all armed forces who died in battle on behalf of the UK.
Canon John Paul Hoskins from the Cathedral said: “Quite a lot of people thought after the veterans of the second world war had begun to leave us that some of the impetus behind marking Remembrance might fade away.
“But if anything, the opposite has happened, and actually more people have come along, and more people want to have that moment of remembering.”
