Lichfield City Council says it wants people to “remember at home” due to restrictions on numbers allowed to join the official events on 8th November.

A socially distanced service will be held at the cathedral, but there will be no parade, civic procession or formal wreath-laying ceremony in the Gardens of Remembrance.

A spokesperson said:

> “Mayor Cllr Deb Baker and a representative from the Lord Lieutenant’s Office will instead observe the two minutes silence inside the cathedral.   
>  
> “In order to reduce the potential for a large gathering, those who wish to lay a wreath in the Gardens of Remembrance are asked to do so throughout the day rather than all gathering at 11am.  
>  
> “The Gardens will be open from 9.30am onwards. Anyone visiting on the day is asked to adhere to strict social distancing and observe the one-way system at all times.”  
>  
> Lichfield City Council spokesperson

The cathedral service will be ticket only. People can find out more about booking [online](https://www.lichfield-cathedral.org/what-s-on/remembrance-2020?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
