A Remembrance Sunday parade will be back in Tenby this year, but Covid precautions will still be in place.

And one of the ways to encourage its spectators to stay safe is by asking them to observe the two minutes' silence closer to home.

Town clerk Andrew Davies said: "While we realise that many people may want to join with us at the war memorial to mark the service and sacrifice of those who have perished as a result of conflict, we remind everyone that Covid-19 infection levels are still high and, to help protect the health and well-being of the public, ask that you could consider alternative ways to mark the occasion, perhaps by pausing for the two minutes silence in homes, on doorsteps or in gardens."

Last year, due to the restrictions imposed by the national Covid lockdown, there was no parade and there was a scaled-down service and wreath-laying ceremony involving just the mayor of Tenby, fellow town councillors and representatives of the Royal British Legion.

This year, the town council, with the assistance of the local branch of the Royal British Legion, is planning to hold a more ‘normal’ Remembrance Sunday parade and war memorial service on November 14.

Unlike previous years, there will be no service of remembrance in St Mary’s Church, Tenby after the short service and wreath laying at the war memorial this year.

Local organisations are invited to join the mayor, Councillor Mrs. Sam Skyrme-Blackhall, fellow town councillors and Royal British Legion representatives at the De Valence Pavilion, Upper Frog Street, Tenby at 10.30 am on the morning of Remembrance Sunday to parade to the war memorial.

The parade will follow a different route this year, walking from the De Valence down White Lion Street and along the South Parade to form up outside the war memorial gardens.

Attendance by representatives of organisations will be at their own discretion; social distancing will be in place and masks are advised.

Wreaths for local organisations based on those that have been ordered in previous years have again been ordered and can be collected from the De Valence Pavilion between 10 am and 1pm weekdays from Friday November 5 to Friday November 12.

Cheques are to be made payable to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal please.

There will be no wreaths available for collection from the De Valence on the day of the parade.
