Communities will come together to remember the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces today and on Remembrance Sunday.
This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal.
In Harrogate, Lord Kirkhope will be attending the commemorations on Remembrance Sunday when the Civic Party will meet at the Wesley Centre at 10.20am, before heading to the War Memorial for a service, a two minute silence, and the laying of wreaths. The party will then march past a military contingent before heading to Wesley Chapel for a remembrance service starting at 11.30am.
