City's Remembrance Service moved to Armistice Day
City of Lincoln CouncilLincoln's annual Remembrance Service will be held on Armistice Day from now on instead of Remembrance Sunday.
This year's service, organised by City of Lincoln Council in conjunction with the Royal British Legion, will begin on 11 November at 10:15 GMT at the city's war memorial, followed by a civic procession.
A two-minute silence will be observed at 11:00 to mark the time the agreement to end the fighting in World War One came about on 11 November 1918.
Kate Fenn, the council's civic and international partnerships manager, said: "We welcome residents, visitors, businesses and organisations to join us in paying tribute to all those who have served, and continue to serve, in the armed forces."
The service is expected to conclude at about midday.
Elsewhere in the county, thousands of poppies were released from beneath the wings of Avro Lancaster Just Jane at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre to mark the start of the county's poppy appeal.
A service of remembrance is scheduled to take place at the International Bomber Command Centre, near Lincoln, on 8 November.
