De parade van de normen, veteranen en andere organisaties marcheerden naar het Oorlogsmonument voor het Maison Dieu House, waar twee minuten stilte in acht werd genomen met de burgerleiders. De kranslegging werd geleid door de plaatsvervangend luitenant van Kent namens Hare Majesteit de Koningin en de burgemeester van Dover, Raadslid Neil Rix. De loco-burgemeester van Calais, zusterstad Dover's vertegenwoordigd zijn gemeenschap. Iedereen was welkom om verenigingen een krans met inbegrip van Veteran's leggen, lokale organisaties en de families van de gesneuvelde. The last post was played by a member of the Brigade of Ghurkhas.
De herdenkingsdienst werd geleid door de ere-aalmoezenier van de burgemeester, Reverend Dr John Walker who spoke especially of the sacrifices made by those who had lost their lives 100 years ago during the first world war at the Battle of Passchendaele. Reverend Walker then invited his colleague Reverend Sean Sheffield, formerly of the Royal Navy, to share some memories of going into action.
De parade marcheerde vervolgens terug door de stad naar het marktplein waar de burgemeester de groet bracht bij de St. Mary's Church.
Following the service, the Mayor said
The War Memorial stands in the centre of the Town as a daily reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women that enable us to go about our lives and enjoy freedom today and it is important to come together as a community to pay our respects on Remembrance Sunday. As well as Veterans Associations there were many young people taking part in the parade and for the first time this year we were pleased to welcome members of the Dover Nepalese Community, many of whom are former members of the Brigade of Gurkhas. Our thanks go to all those who contributed to the service especially the White Cliffs Branch of the Royal British Legion who set out the Garden of Remembrance and collected for the Poppy Appeal in all weathers over the last two weeks. We are also grateful to the P&O Choir and Cantium Brass for leading the music and the young people of the newly formed Police Cadets who worked as stewards during the service.
