Remembrance day parade and service cancelled

A small group of representatives will be present to lay wreaths and observe a two-minute silence on behalf of the townspeople. Littlehampton Town Council has made a donation of £1,000 to the Royal British Legion on behalf of the people of Littlehampton as they face great difficulties with their Poppy Appeal.

Town Mayor cllr David Chace presented a cheque to Derek Moore MBE, honorary poppy Appeal Organiser, at the War Memorial.

Derek Moore MBE said: “It is a great shame that we will not be able to meet under normal circumstances, but we still encourage people to show their Respect for the fallen at home. The Poppy Appeal will be collecting in the Littlehampton branches of Morrisons and Tesco on Saturday, October 31 and Saturday, November 7.”

The Mayor of Littlehampton, cllr David Chace said: “We very much hoped that the situation in the UK would have improved significantly by now. However, it is the council’s priority to ensure the health and safety of all those involved in the staging and running of our events, as well as wider public health.

"We urge everyone to support the event by remembering at home and look forward to welcoming you back to our events in 2021. We are supporting the RBL Poppy Appeal campaign to display a poster of the iconic Remembrance Poppy which you can download off our website.

"Alternatively, you can contact a member of staff on 01903 732063 to pick up a poster from the Manor House.”
