In Newport, a service of remembrance will be held in Newport Minster on Sunday 8 November following the two minute silence at 11am.
Proceedings will start with a parade through the town from Drill Hall Road just after 10.30am, and will be joined by the Isle of Wight Council’s mace bearer and civic party from Newport Guildhall to Sts Thomas’ Square where they will then join other organisations for prayers before the formal silence.
A wreath laying ceremony will follow, before a service of remembrance in Newport Minster.
A number of other services will be taking place across the Island at the same time.
Field of remembrance
As previously announced, the special ‘field of remembrance’ will once again be opened at Carisbrooke Castle to commemorate those in the uniformed services who lost their lives in service of their country.
The field was introduced in the Princess Beatrice Garden at Carisbrooke Castle in 2010. It was established by the Lord-Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight, Major General Martin White, as a place where residents can pay their respects around the time of Remembrance Sunday.
Public welcome
The castle will open its doors for people to visit the field between 10am and 1pm on Thursday 5 November, as well as on Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November between 10am and 4pm (but not Friday 6 November).
A formal service of remembrance, which members of the public are welcome to attend, will take place at the castle on Thursday 5 November at 10.45am. Following the service, refreshments will be provided by the Isle of Wight Federation of Women’s Institutes.
