The march will pass through Strand Street, Castle Street, Marina Road, St Thomas’ Walk, Market Street and Church Road Marina to St Thomas’ Church. A church service will start at 10am.

The service will end at 10.40am in time for people to walk over to the War Memorial on Douglas Promenade to observe a two minutes’ silence at 11am. Wreath laying will follow.

A final parade will form on the promenade alongside the War Memorial and following the salute opposite the Gaiety Theatre by Douglas Mayor Jon Joughin, it will proceed into Marina Road and retrace the route to Market Hill.
