Across the borough there will be parades, services of remembrance and minutes of silence as people across the High Peak remember those lost in conflict.

Michael Hilton, one of the organisers of Buxton’s annual remembrance service and parade, on Sunday, November 8, said: “Prior to the service, at 10.35am, on The Slopes there will be a parade, under the control of Sergeant Major Jacob Skidmore.

“The Parade will be led by Fairfield (Buxton) Brass Band, from Buxton Market Place to the Cenotaph, consisting of Regular Troops, Cadet Groups, Emergency Services, Scouts and others - those groups will fall out to their usual places near the Cenotaph. The parade will be followed by the Civic Parade from the Town Hall with The British Legion, our Deputy Lord Lieutenant, Louise Potter, Deputy Mayor of High Peak – Cllr. Payge Hacking, Exec Director of HPBC – Mark Trillo and Councillors.”

The Car Park at the Slopes side of the Town Hall, will be closed for the preparation of parades, and until after the service.

Once all are assembled, the service starts at 10.50am, and will be led by The Revd Andrew Parker and Lay Minister Derek O’Brian.

Michael said: “Once again, this year, thank you to the Buxton Community Choir, who will accompany Fairfield Band and the assembled crowd, with hymns and The National Anthem.

As the buglers play The Last Post we will be closing Terrace Road for the two minutes silence while we remember.

“After the two minutes, as the buglers play Reveille, Terrace Road will be opened again for a little while.”

Wreaths will be laid at the Cenotaph during the service, by Civic leaders, representatives of the Armed Forces and many other local organisations.

Anyone who wishes to lay a wreath during the ceremony, please report to the steps on the Crescent side of the Cenotaph by 10.35am.

While wreaths are laid, the choir will sing and after the service there will be a parade – this will form on The Slopes, in the wide path opposite Hardwick Street.

Once the parade is formed, Terrace Road, The Crescent, The Square and Water Street will be closed.

The Parade will progress, down Terrace Road, through the Crescent, where our Deputy Lord Lieutenant and other Civic Leaders will take the salute, from a dais outside the Crescent Hotel, through The Square to The Pavilion Gardens.

The Parade will end on The Pavilion Gardens promenade, where there will be a review of all marching groups by our Deputy Lord Lieutenant, The British Legion and Civic Leaders.

After the Parade falls out, all are welcome to refreshments in the Pavilion Gardens Conservatory.

A spokesperson for the group said: “We usually place the display on the grass of the Slopes, but the arrival of Canada Geese has prompted a change of plan.

“While out and about you may also spot how smart the Soldier silhouettes now look.

These are on display on the main routes into Buxton, and this year have been cleaned and repaired by our town team volunteers.

“A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped bring this year’s tribute together.”

In Buxton Cemetery, where there are 76 Commonwealth war graves from the two World Wars, an act of remembrance takes place on Armistice Day at the Cross of Sacrifice on Wednesday November 11, starting at 10.45am.

Over in Chapel-en-le-Frith there will be marching from Thornbrook Road to St Thomas Becket Church with the salute being taken as it passes the war memorial.

A spokesperson for the Chapel Branch of the Royal British Legion said: “After the church service the standards and colours are marched back to the Market Place for the RBL service and wreath laying ceremony.”

Standards, flags, dignitary and all youth groups to arrive no later than 9.30am at the Scout Hut on Thornbrook Road.

Note there will be no access to vehicles at the scout hut, so drop offs at the Thornbrook Surgery car park where you can access the hut by foot.

The parade will leave at 9.40am and then the 10am service at St Thomas Becket will start then back to the war memorial for 10.45am.
