Plans for the Bridlington Remembrance Day service are well underway, with the full programme released by Bridlington Town Council who will once again be organising the popular event.
The dedication of the Bridlington War Memorial Garden has already taken place on 28 October, along with the launch of the annual Poppy Appeal in the Promenades Shopping Centre.
Veterans and town councillors have also been busy decorating the railings around the War Memorial with huge poppy petals and this year’s occasion – on Sunday 12 November – will see hundreds of veterans, service groups, serving military and dignitaries parade along Quay Road to the Bridlington War Memorial on Wellington Road.
