This year’s Remembrance Sunday Devon County Service in Exeter Cathedral will take place at 4pm on Sunday 10 November.

This special service for the people of Devon will be accompanied by music from Exeter Cathedral Choir and attended by military and veteran associations. During the service, commemorative wreaths will be passed to the Dean of Exeter, then placed in Exeter Cathedral’s Devon and Dorset Regimental Chapel, before being laid at the War Memorial on Cathedral Green, on Remembrance Day. A British Sign Language interpreter will be present at this service.

Everyone is warmly invited to attend this service. No advance booking required.

Earlier that day, there will also be a Morning Service of Remembrance at Northernhay Gardens, Exeter.  This year, the Lord Mayor’s procession and morning wreath laying service will take place at the War Memorial in Northernhay Gardens, Exeter, at 10:50am. A Civic Party led by the Lord Mayor and comprising City Councillors, Honorary Aldermen, MPs, representatives from the Emergency Services, Military, College, University and others will lead the Service of Remembrance.

The Lord Mayor’s Chaplain will conduct the service with the Exeter Salvation Army Band, accompanied by the University of Exeter’s Chapel Choir. The service will be attended by ex-service units and other local associations, who will be carrying standards and laying wreaths. A Parade Marshall will provide military guidance with a Bugler from the Salamanca Band of the Rifles, who will play Reveille and Last Post.
