Remembrance Sunday - Barry.
Barry Town Council has confirmed what Remembrance Sunday events will look like following the start of national lockdown restrictions.
The council said it had discussed options with the Royal British Legion and said that “it is with regret” that it will not be able to gather in commemoration with the many organisations, groups and public that annually meet to share their respects.
The tighter restrictions also mean that there will be no parade through the town.
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. This service will be by invitation only.
Barry Town Council also said it was “regrettable” that it will not be able to hold an indoor Remembrance service that would usually follow the wreath laying at the Cenotaph.
“We are asking that people please respect the guidelines set out by Welsh Government and refrain from attending the commemoration,” said a Facebook post made by the council
Barry Town Council have arranged to stream the wreath laying service live on the Barry Town Mayor’s Facebook page so that anyone who wishes to watch the service can do so virtually.
Anyone who still wishes to pay their own respects but has not been invited to the wreath laying service, may visit the Cenotaph after 11:30am individually.
The council also wrote: “Please ensure you follow all guidelines in terms of handwashing, face coverings and social distancing to keep themselves and the community safe.
“Neither Barry Town Council or the Memorial Theatre will be organising for the public to attend and ask instead that you “Stay Home, Stay Safe, Watch, Listen and Remember.”
