REMEMBERING BRIGG'S FALLEN


Many Brigg residents, and visitors, will have already seen the signs giving warning that the A18, near The Monument, will be closed either side of noon on Sunday while the town pays its respects to those servicmen who lost their lives.
In a welcome move, Brigg Town Council has had large banners created to warn motorists, well in advance, that the A18 will be closed for half-ah-hour on Remembrance Sunday, so they can find an alternative route (presumably via Glebe Road).
Town clerk Jeanette Woollard has issued the following helpful information:

The Parade will form up in Station Road at 10.25am, ready to move off at 10.35am for the service at St John the Evangelist Parish Church, which will commence at 10.50am. The Parade will enter the church via the Wrawby Street entrance.
Following the service the parade will re-form in Wrawby Street, before proceeding to the War Memorial for the Wreath Laying ceremony and Sounding of Calls. The Parade will return to Station Road to dismiss.
All local ex-servicemen and women are very welcome to attend and join the parade; no invitations are necessary.
