The traditional Remembrance Service will take place on Sunday, 10 November, at the city’s war memorial at Victoria Embankment.
The ceremony will begin at 10.45 am and include the two-minute silence and wreath laying. The Nottinghamshire Band of The Royal Engineers, accompanied by the Nottingham Hospitals’ Choir, will provide music for the service.
The ceremony will begin with the traditional parade.
From the west side closure (at Wilford Grove/Embankment), the parade, comprising Armed Forces personnel, cadets, and veterans, will form up before marching down to the memorial.
After the service, the parade will depart from the memorial and march down towards the east side closure (Embankment – Bunbury Street), saluting the Lord-Lieutenant before falling out inside the road closure at the Bunbury Street end.
Under the instruction of the Regimental Sergeant Major, wreaths will be laid by:
- Lord-Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, Professor Veronica Pickering MBS HAC
- Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Councillor Carole McCulloch
- Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council, Councillor Richard Butler
- High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire, Nick Rubins
- HQ Centre Colonel Jim Heardman
- HMS Sherwood, Commander A L Brooks VR BSc (Hons) MBA Chart.PR RNR
- Mercian Regiment Captain Sean Leach

- Col. David Sneath MA TD DL, County President Nottinghamshire RBL

- Chief Fire Officer, Craig Parkin
- Police and Crime Commissioner, Gary Godden
- Chief Constable, Kate Meynell
Wreaths will also be laid by veterans, community groups, and faith representatives.
People wishing to pay their respects and observe the ceremony are very welcome. To help with this, there will be a large screen on Victoria Embankment for the public to watch the ceremony. A large PA system will ensure people can also hear the service. This solution will help prevent crowding that can occur when people struggle to see what is taking place.
As in previous years, there will be no activity at Old Market Square on Remembrance Sunday due to the war memorial being located at Victoria Embankment.
The road along the Embankment will be closed from the junction of Wilford Grove to the junction of Bunbury Street.
Cars will not be allowed to park on the closed section of the Embankment. Cars can be parked in other areas as normal.
There will be toilet facilities at the event.
