A programme of activity to mark this year's Remembrance Day in Richmond has been announced.

The end of hostilities in the First World War will be commemorated across the borough but in a different way than usual because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In line with the national advice, there will be no official parades taking place on Remembrance Sunday (November 8).

Instead, residents and veterans will be encouraged to pay their respects at home, by observing the national 2-minute silence at 11am and following council videos, pictures and social media coverage.

A silence will also be observed on Remembrance Day itself (Wednesday, November 11).

Churches around the borough are also planning Remembrance events on Sunday.
