This year marks 80 years since the end of World War Two, and on Remembrance Sunday, 9th November 2025, Gainsborough Town Council, All Saints Parish Church, and the Royal British Legion Gainsborough Branch invite the community to come together for a time of reflection — to honour those who have served and sacrificed for our freedom.

At 10:00am, a Service of Remembrance will take place at All Saints Parish Church, followed by a procession at 10:55am to the War Memorial for a further Remembrance ceremony.

At 11:00am, the Two Minute Silence will be observed, accompanied by the Last Post and Reveille, before wreaths are laid in tribute to the fallen. Members of the community, local organisations, and groups are warmly invited to lay their own wreaths or symbols of remembrance.

The Mayor of Gainsborough, Councillor James Plastow, said: “It will be my privilege to attend the Remembrance Sunday Service and to honour those who have fought, and those that continue to fight for our freedom, by laying a wreath at the War Memorial.”

To ensure the safety of participants and attendees, Gladstone Street, Parnell Street, and Fawcett Street up to Cecil Street will be closed to traffic from approximately 9:00am to 12:00pm. Parking bays within this area will also be suspended during this time.
