Crowds will gather in Newcastle this coming Sunday to pay their respects once again to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Among them will be servicemen who attend the annual event at Old Eldon Square to honour the war dead and older veterans who are there to remember their former comrades.
There will be a service at the War Memorial in the square at 11am on Sunday - the day before November 11's official Armistice Day - and it will mark the culmination of a parade which will set off from Newcastle Civic Centre. Here is a
The parade will follow a route through the city centre which will mean that several road closures have to be in place in for the event.
So, for anyone planning to come in to Newcastle that morning, here are details of the areas which will be affected.
When is the Remembrance Day parade?
The march will begin at the back of Newcastle Civic Centre at 10.30am on Sunday, November 10 and its route will take it through the city to its end-point at Old Eldon Square. Those involved will reach this point by 11am when a silence will be observed as part of the service.
Which roads in Newcastle will have to close?
Road closures will be in place along the route of the parade as it passes through the city.
The affected roads will be:
St Mary’s Place
Percy Street
Blackett Street
Northumberland Road
John Dobson Street
Rolling road closures will apply and will follow the route. Access to parking places in these areas also will be temporarily affected for a short period of time until the parade passes through.
Members of the public are being encouraged to turn out for the parade and service in Old Eldon Square where they will also see a display of woven and knitted poppies tied along the railings around the square which proved such an impressive sight last year.
