After last year’s enforced restrictions of the pandemic, the Sleaford area community was keen to come out in force and show their support for the Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday commemorations this tear.

Hundreds of people joined veterans and members of the Royal British Legion, serving armed forces personnel, youth and civilian organisations as well as schools, politicians and civic dignitaries in paying their respects, laying a wreath and observing a two minute silence.

Residents lined Southgate to welcome the parade from Station Road on Sunday before packing into the Market Place for a service led by Rev Philip Johnson, with music by Sleaford Concert Band and the traditional words of remembrance spoken by the reviewing officer from RAF College Cranwell, a youth representative and Tom Monteith of the British Legion.
