In Bungay this is a CLOSED event and members of the public are being asked not to attend.

Please be aware that Government National Restrictions clearly state that Members of the Public should remain at home and observe the National event being held at the Cenotaph in London, either on their television or online. This year it will be a closed event, and there will be no march past the Cenotaph. People are urged to observe a 2 minutes silence at home, or on their doorstep at 11am on Sunday morning.

Who can attend a Remembrance Sunday Event?

CLOSED TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC

Due to the decision by government to close all non-essential premises until December 2nd, Bungay Town Council has once again taken the reluctant decision to close it's offices to members of the public.
