Armistice Day

At 11am on the 11th November 1918, an Armistice was signed which ended the First World War. The anniversary of the Armistice is observed at the War Memorial at 11am on the 11th November each year. A short ceremony, which includes a two minute silence, is led by members of the Ruddington & District Branch of the Royal British Legion.

Service of Remembrance

Image result for war memorial ruddington poppiesOn the Sunday nearest to Armistice Day, the uniformed groups in the village parade from The Green to the War Memorial, where wreaths of poppies are laid. A short service then takes place at the War Memorial, followed by Morning Service at St Peter’s Church. Roads in the village are closed for the parade, so residents are encouraged to walk to the service. Details and timings are usually announced in the November issue of the Village Newsletter.
