All the 2024 Remembrance Day events taking place in Driffield and The Wolds
People are being encouraged to line the street as a mark of respect as Driffield’s annual Remembrance Parade makes its way to All Saints’ Church this Sunday (10th November) for the Service of Remembrance.
Veterans and those organisations taking part in the parade will assemble at the Middle Street South entrance to Tesco car park at 1.35pm. Road closures will be in place for the parade which will march off at 1.55pm via Middle Street South, Market Place and Middle Street North to All Saints’ Church.
The East Coast & District Buglers, based in Driffield, will again be playing at this year’s parade. The group, formed 18 months ago, is made up of mainly military veterans, who took up the bugle having never played before. The aim of the group, which is led by Martin Wilson, a former Army bugler and drummer, is to provide support to the veteran community by playing at parades, funerals and other memorial events.
The buglers will play three calls; the first, ‘Fall In’, is played to assemble the troops prior to marching off. This will be played as veterans assemble in the car park.
The buglers will then take up position behind the Standards or Colours to provide an Escort to the Colours.
The next call will be ‘General Salute’, which acknowledges the presence of a senior inspecting officer. Finally, ‘Advance’ will be played to indicate that the parade will march off. On arrival at All Saints’ Church, the Service of Remembrance, led by Rev Stuart Grant, will take place at 2.30pm.
The service, organised by Driffield Town Council, will be followed by a two-minute silence and a wreath-laying ceremony at the War Memorial in the church grounds when military personnel, veterans’ associations, youth organisations, volunteers, and charity organisations will lay wreaths.
An Armistice Service of Remembrance will take place in the Gardens of Remembrance on North Street in Driffield at 10:55am on Monday 11th November. A short service and two-minute silence will be observed at 11am.
