BARRY TOWN COUNCIL & ROYAL BRITISH LEGION
Remembrance Day 2020
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation and the local lockdown in place, we have explored how we can best commemorate Remembrance Sunday safely this year.
Many towns and councils are cancelling services this year. Having discussed the options with partners, The Royal British Legion, Barry Town Council has decided that it will still commemorate Remembrance Day, but it will be significantly different from previous years.
It is with regret that we will not be able to gather in commemoration with the many organisations, groups and public that annually meet to share their respects; this means that unfortunately, we will not be parading through the town this year, due to restrictions that are currently in place.
There will be a very limited wreath laying service at the Cenotaph which, following guidelines, will be socially distanced and there will be no more than 30 people involved and these will be at the service by invite only. Neither will we be able to hold the indoor service that usually follows the Cenotaph service which is regrettable.
We are asking that people who still wish to pay their own respects but have not been invited to the wreath laying service, visit the Cenotaph after 11:30am in an individual capacity and follow all guidelines in terms of handwashing, face coverings and distancing to keep themselves and the community safe.
The wreath laying service will be streamed live on the Barry Town Mayor’s Facebook page so that anyone who wishes to watch the service can do so virtually.
We hope you understand why we have had to put these plans in place this year.
