The Town Council is responsible for the operation of the Maryport & Flimby Remembrance Day arrangements, when services will take place on Sunday 8 November at St Nicholas Church, Flimby, at 10am & St Mary’s Church, Maryport, in the afternoon, following the traditional parade. Members of the public are welcome to attend the services.
Those taking part in the parade should gather in good time at Fleming Square ready for moving off at 2.45pm. Members of the parade will march to St Mary’s Church, where the service will take place & be followed by a wreath laying ceremony in the Maryport Memorial Gardens.
After the ceremony, the parade will reform on the Cockermouth Road and proceed via the A594 to the saluting base, then to the Maryport Rugby Club, Mealpot Road, to be dismissed.
The Poppy Appeal for Maryport and the surrounding area is also being operated by the Town Council. Please show your support for the country’s veterans through purchasing a poppy, or other commemorative piece, from a local outlet. In addition to regular outlets, stalls selling poppies & other merchandise will be in supermarkets on the weekends immediately prior to Remembrance Day. For those wishing to lay a wreath, they will be available from the Town Hall from late September. Further details will be placed on the Council’s social media sites.
