Monday, 26 October 2026 at 09:06

Road closures will be in place along the parade route while the procession takes place.

Ilkley Town Council has confirmed details of this year's Remembrance Sunday parade and service, taking place on Sunday 8th November.

The annual event will bring together residents, local dignitaries, members of the armed forces and community organisations to remember those who have lost their lives in service.

The Remembrance service will begin at 3pm at Ilkley's Memorial Gardens and will be led by Father Tim Swinglehurst.

Those wishing to take part in the parade are asked to gather on Whitton Croft Road at 2:20pm.

The procession will pass in front of Ilkley Town Hall before making its way along The Grove and into the Memorial Gardens ahead of the service.

Road closures will be in place along the parade route while the procession takes place.

The event is open to everyone, with residents invited to attend the service and pay their respects.

There will also be an opportunity for individuals and organisations to lay wreaths at the end of the ceremony.

A collection will be held during the service in support of the Royal British Legion.

Ilkley Town Council says the annual event provides an opportunity for the community to come together and remember the service and sacrifice of those who have defended the country's freedoms.
