Parades and services will take place on Sunday

Towns and boroughs are preparing to hold commemorative parades and processions this Sunday to remember the country's fallen heroes.

Wolverhampton will mark Remembrance Sunday with a service at the Cenotaph in St Peter's Square, following a full parade of military and community groups through the city centre.

Residents are being asked to prepare for diversions as some roads are expected to close for Remembrance Day services on Sunday.

Councillor Bill Gavan, Mayor of Sandwell, said: "Remembrance Sunday is a time to honour the men and women who have sacrificed their lives and remember all our armed forces and their families. I hope many people are able to attend one of the seven services taking place in Sandwell.

"I would like to thank everyone who has come together this year to organise Sandwell's Remembrance parades and services. The day would not be possible without the dedication and support from the Royal British Legion, all our wonderful volunteers and our residents."
