| Newark Town Council organise the Parade in conjunction with The Royal British Legion and it is extremely well attended. Before the service, guests will gather in the Ballroom and are welcomed by the Civic Party at 10.15am. A procession will be formed, which will then make its way to the Parish Church. At this point, the Mayor’s Officer will accompany the Deputy Town Mayor to the cemetery where he/she will lay a wreath on the War Memorial. There is a parade of standards through the town, starting at the London Road Car Park. All guests will gather for a small service by the War Memorial at St Mary Magdalene Parish Church where wreaths will be laid. The congregation then moves into the Church for the formal service. During the service the Town Mayor lays a poppy on the Book of Remembrance. After the service the guests will return to the Town Hall. |
