Wolverley Memorial Hall will once again host Remembrance Sunday commemorations for the first time since the Covid pandemic.

The hall, built in 1962, was originally intended to honour those from the village who died in the World Wars.

Graham Wallis, chair of the trustees of the Wolverley Memorial Charitable Trust, said: "The hall was always the place where people came together for a commemoration before joining the parade to St John the Baptist church, just over the road."

"Assembly at the hall was stopped and the parade cut short during the pandemic.

"We are so pleased the hall is now back playing a major role in the proceedings."

The commemoration will take place at the Memorial Hall on Shatterford Lane at 10am on Sunday, November 10, followed by a parade to the church for the main Remembrance Service at 11am.
