Public invited to wreath laying ceremony for Remembrance Sunday

Residents in Montserrat are invited to a ceremony at the War Memorial Park in Little Bay for Remembrance Sunday.

The event on 10 November will honour military personnel who died at war, with a two-minute silence and wreath laying under the theme, ‘Lest we Forget’.

Attendees are asked to be in place no later than 7.45am for the event at 8am. A link to the live stream will be provided when available.

Lieutenant Colonel Alvin Ryan, commanding officer of the Royal Montserrat Defence Force, said people can also pay their respects through the purchase of a poppy.

“The poppy, which is a red flower, has been a single of remembrance those who lost their lives during World War One and two and the subsequent wars,” he said in an online video this week.

“I encourage you to purchase one in support of our ex servicemen.”
