Doncaster Remembers

On Sunday 10 November at 10.30am, a service of Remembrance will take place at the War Memorial on Benetthorpe, with the Mayor of Doncaster, Ros Jones and Civic Mayor, Councillor Julie Grace each laying a wreath. 

After the Memorial ceremony there will be a parade that will march from Bennetthorpe to Baxtergate, past the Mansion House and then ending at the Minster of St George for a Service of Remembrance.

Mayor Ros Jones said: “This weekend we reflect and give thanks to the servicemen and women who have made the greatest sacrifice for our freedom. We will never forget them.”

Civic Mayor, Councillor Julie Grace, added: “Remembrance services will be taking place across Doncaster to commemorate the servicemen and women who have sacrificed so much in the World Wars and other conflicts. I, along with many others, will take this opportunity to pay my respects to the fallen soldiers, along with those who are serving today.”

On Monday 11 November, a service for Armistice Day will commence outside the Mansion House at 11am which will include a bugler playing the Last Post and Reveille and the traditional Act of Homage.
