WYRE Forest residents will come together at events across the district to honour the fallen on Remembrance Sunday.

Road closures will be in place in Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley as parades are held in the towns on Sunday (November 9).

In Kidderminster the parade assembles from the New Road Car Park at 10.15am, leaving at 10.30am prompt, making its way through the town centre and up to the War Memorial at St Mary and All Saints Church on St Mary's Ringway for a service at 10.50am.

Permission for temporary road closures has been granted by Wyre Forest District Council between 8.00am and 1pm affecting New Road, Bridge Street, Oxford Street, Vicar Street, Bull Ring, Lower Mill Street and St Mary's Ringway.

In Stourport, the parade will leave from the Royal British Legion at 10.35am and will proceed via Severn Road, Mitton Street and Vale Road to the War Memorial for the Service of Remembrance.

Wreaths will also be laid, followed by The Act of Remembrance, the Last Post and the two minutes of silence.

After the service, the parade will re-assemble and march to the Royal British Legion Headquarters via Lion Hill and Lichfield Street, where the parade will be dismissed.

In Bewdley, local groups and organisations are invited to join the parade which will gather at Bridge House, Riverside North at 10.30am.

They will then proceed to the War Memorial at St Anne’s Church for a two-minute silence. This will be followed by a church service.
