This year’s Remembrance events will be proceeding as normal, with commemorations across the island on Remembrance Sunday, which falls on November 8, and Armistace Day itself.

On Remembrance Sunday in Douglas, a parade will form at Duke Street at 9.15am and pass through the town to arrive at St Thomas’ Church for a service at 10am.

Attendees can then make their way to the War Memorial for the two minutes’ silence at 11am, followed by the laying of wreaths, but due to the promenade regeneration works there will be no parade from the church to the War Memorial.

The final parade will then form alongside the War Memorial and proceed along the north-bound carriageway, finishing at Duke Street, with the salute being taken by Mayor Jon Joughin along the route.

Douglas promenade from Mona Drive to the Sea Terminal roundabout will be closed to traffic between 10.30am and midday.

In Ramsey, Remembrance Sunday events consist of a memorial service to be held at 10.45am at the War Memorial by the old Courthouse.

This will be followed by the laying of wreaths, and then forming up for a parade.

Afterwards there will also be a small march afterwards, followed by a gathering at St Paul’s Church Hall.

On Armistace Day there will be an observance of the two minutes’ silence, marked by the firing of maroon rockets.

In Onchan, there will first be a children’s poppies event for Onchan’s schools on Saturday, November 7, which will take place at 10am at the Garden of Remembrance in the grounds of St Peter’s Church.

On Remembrance Sunday, a parade to St Peter’s Church will begin at 9.10am from Elm Tree Road, behind the Co-op shop.

The Lieutenant Governor will take the salute as the parade passes the front of the War Memorial.

The annual Remembrance Sunday service at the church will begin at 9.45am.

Following this there will be a short service at the war memorial at 10.45am, followed by a first wreath laying by Sir Richard Gozney and a two-minute silence marked by the firing of maroons from The Rec.

Reveille will be played followed by a few words from Normandy veteran Hector Duff. Refreshments will then be served at Onchan Methodist Church.

On Armistace Day there will be a short service at Onchan War Memorial at 10.45am with a two minutes’ silence, and maroons will again be fired from The Rec to mark this.

In Castletown, the Sunday service of Remembrance will start at 10am at Arbory Street Methodist Church, and will be followed by the laying of wreaths and Act of Remembrance at the war memorial at 11am. The Armistace Day service will begin at 11am at the town’s War Memorial.

The west’s Remembrance Sunday service will take place at 10.30am St John’s Church.

A tree will be planted in remembrance of a Corporal Gilliat, who served in Afghanistan.

The National Remembrance Sunday service will take place in St John’s, with the church service to begin at 3pm, and attendees asked to be seated by 2.45pm.

This will be followed by the laying of wreaths at the national war memorial by Sir Richard, Chief Minister Howard Quayle and President of Tynwald Steve Rodan.

As the Isle of Man is not living under Covid restrictions, it is likely these gatherings will be the largest remembrance events in the British Isles.
