Remembrance 2008 will take place at Plymouth Pavilions on Friday 7 November 2008, this year commemorating the 90th Anniversary of the cease fire on 11th day of 11th month 1918.
With a total disregard for life, regardless of country, this years Festival will commemorate the multitude of service personnel who lost their lives during both World Wars and those who lost their lives during active service including non combatants of the Merchant Fleet in Palestine, Malaya, Korea, Kenya, Cyprus, Suez, Aden, Brunei, Borneo, British Honduras, Belize, Northern Ireland, Falklands, the Gulf, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
We in Plymouth have, or know of, servicemen and women who served with units in Devon & Cornwall and have been killed or wounded in active service in either in Afghanistan or Iraq recently.
We do not forget the people of Plymouth who perished in the blitz, nor do we forget their involvement, their suffering and the part they played in both World Wars. Even today their suffering goes on as their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters serve with British Force's committed to peace around the world, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The Band of Her Majesty's Royal Marines will be joined on stage by the Torpoint Ladies Choir and the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary Male Voice Choir.
Remembrance 2008 will be narrated by Radio Devon's very own John Coats and the service will be conducted by Rev Nick McKinnel of St Andrews Church.
