Birmingham<\/a>\u2019s annual service of remembrance will take place on Colmore Row, opposite St Philip\u2019s Cathedral<\/a>, on Sunday, November 9.<\/p>\n

It will be attended by veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces, civic leaders, and members of the public.<\/p>\n

The commemorations will begin with a parade of ex-service personnel, cadets, and uniformed organisations, who will march from Temple Row from 10.30am. The formal service will begin at 10.55am, led by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham Councillor Zafar Iqbal MBE, alongside the Lord Lieutenant Derrick Anderson CBE, and the Bishop of Birmingham the Rt Reverend Dr Michael Volland.<\/p>\n

A two-minute silence will be observed at 11am, followed by the laying of wreaths at the Cenotaph. The event will conclude with a march past and salute.<\/p>\n

The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor Zafar Iqbal MBE, said: \u201cRemembrance Sunday is a solemn and powerful moment for our city. It is a time to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who came before us and to honour those who continue to serve today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI invite the people of Birmingham to join us in unity and gratitude, as we remember not only the fallen, but also the families and communities forever changed by conflict. Their legacy lives on in our commitment to peace, justice, and remembrance.\u201d<\/p>\n

The service is open to all, and members of the public are encouraged to arrive early to observe the silence and pay their respects.<\/p>\n

Further details, including the order of service, will be available on the Birmingham City Council website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
