Remembrance Sunday is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.
We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.
The Mayor of Wirral, Cllr. Cherry Povall, said:
Communities across Wirral will join others across the UK and beyond this Sunday to honour the courage and sacrifice of the fallen, and all those who have helped to defend the freedoms we have today. We can never forget or take their selflessness for granted.
Once again, Remembrance Sunday sadly takes place at a time of terrible conflict in the world, which is a sharp reminder of the day’s abiding theme of hope for a more peaceful world.
