Service members from the Army, Navy and RAF join forces in the centenary parade next Sunday morning.

There will be around 90 service personnel taking part in the parade, 30 men and women from each service department will be attending.

A service will be held at the cenotaph in Lincoln High Street where a two-minute silence will take place at 11am.

Station Warrant Officer Phil Major, a parade participant and the individual responsible for the events drill and ceremonial training said, “It’s an honour to be taking part in the Armistice 100 Parade. As this year sees the 100th Anniversary of armistice, this will be a much larger event incorporating all three military services.”

On Sunday, people from around the world will reflect on the millions of lives lost from the First World War, Lincolnshire alone lost more than 18,000 people.

Officer Major, said, “It is an opportunity to remember those who have died in conflict since the beginning of the First World War.”

It is expected that there will be a greater turn out this year as it is the centenary.

Gina Edwards, Spokeswoman for the Royal British Legion, said, “We are expecting big crowds and are very thankful for everyone who comes to pay their respects.”

Ms Edwards, said, “It is a really special year on a event which changed our lives.”

The parade begins at 10.40am Sunday, November 11, at St Martins Square.

Following the Act of Remembrance and Parade, the Armistice Centenary Bell Ringing starts at 12.30pm as a part of a nationwide act of remembrance.
