Place: Royal Naval Memorial, Plymouth Hoe

The Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Councillor Mrs Vivien Pengelly will be joined by the Deputy Lieutenant of Devon, Deputy Lord Mayor, Deputy Lady Mayoress and Chief Executive of Plymouth City Council at this year's Remembrance Day Service on Plymouth Hoe.

The service will remember all those who lost their lives in both World Wars and in all conflicts.

A two-minute silence will take place at the Royal Naval Memorial at 11am.

The Lord Mayor will lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Plymouth, followed by Deputy Lieutenant of Devon, Sir Richard Ibbotson, who will lay a wreath on behalf of the county. Devonport Naval Base Commander, Commodore Graeme Little and other representatives of the armed forces will then lay wreaths.

A member of HMS Heroes will also lay a wreath, followed by pupils from Plymstock School, Elburton Primary School and Dunstone Primary School.

The Archdeacon of Plymouth, the Venerable Ian Chandler will conduct the service, which will last for around 20 minutes.

Members of the public and local organisations will be invited to pay their respects and lay their personal wreaths at the end of the service, following the departure of the civic dignitaries.

The processional party will then take their places at the Civilian Memorial in Lockyer Street, where the Archdeacon of Plymouth will say a prayer. Wreaths will be laid around the civilian memorial by the Lord Mayor, the Naval Base Commander and Gary Streeter MP (on behalf of all the local Members of Parliament) followed by civilian representatives.

Members of the public are reminded that parking around the Hoe is limited. Some spaces will be available on the promenade for blue badge holders but this will be on a first come, first served basis.
