The annual Dover Town Council Remembrance Sunday commemorations for those who gave their lives during wartime will take place online in the form of a special film featuring a service and wreath-laying to allow for Covid-19 safety.
On November 8 at 11am, the public can watch below, or visit Youtube to join in ‘Remember from Home’ officiated by Rev Sean Sheffield, Honorary Chaplain and Chaplain to The Royal Green Jackets Association. A single wreath will be laid by the Mayor, Councillor Gordan Cowan, bagi pihak Majlis Bandar Raya Dover dan orang-orang Dover.
There will also be a two minutes’ silence and footage of the War Memorial, Poppy Mural, plaques of the fallen, Remembrance Trail, and a list of organisations who normally take part. Orating will be Alan Tinker, Merchant Navy, and voice-over by Tracey Hubbard, the Council’s Customer Events Team Leader.
A spokesman for Dover Town Council said: "Keselamatan awam adalah yang terpenting pada masa ini dan kami menggesa mereka yang ingin menandakan Peringatan untuk menyertai peringatan dalam talian untuk mengelakkan membahayakan diri sendiri dan orang lain dengan mengunjungi Peringatan Perang secara fizikal. Ini adalah kaedah terbaik untuk menunjukkan rasa hormat terhadap pengorbanan yang dilakukan oleh orang-orang yang jatuh dan rakan-rakan mereka dalam Angkatan Bersenjata. Tetap selamat dan ingat dari rumah tahun ini. "
Sebelum Mengingati Ahad, the Royal British Legion White Cliffs branch will be constructing the Garden of Remembrance at the War Memorial but will not be directly collecting; instead, donations can be made in a dedicated box inside the Town Council offices or via DTC’s website with a link to RBL for virtual poppies.
