Residents are encouraged to take part in the two minute silence on their doorstep, or inside their homes, as a mark of remembrance at 11am on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day (Wednesday 11 November).
Homes and businesses are being encouraged to mark Remembrance Sunday and show support for the armed forces community by displaying a poppy in their window.

VJ Day 2020 - VJ Day@75

Following the cancellation of VE Day @75 events due to the first national lockdown, a small event, in line with government Covid-19 guidance was held. Military Vehicles transported dignitaries including the Lord Lieutenant, accompanied by a cadet escort, the High Sheriff and the Mayor to the memorials across the bay for wreath laying ceremonies, though it was not possible to open the events to the public.

A service was then held beside the commonwealth war graves at Christ Church which was also attended by representatives from the Burma Star Association, the Royal British Legion and councillors.

Pupils of the Bay Primary School had been asked to design a flag to commemorate the date. The winning design, by Evie Fairhurst, was raised in the graveyard at the church.
