Two ceremonies take place today to remember the
men and women who have sacrificed their lives in defence of this
country.
Reading's Mayor Councillor Deborah Edwards will lead a two minute
silence at the Forbury War Memorial at 11am.
This is the first time this has happened and follows the Council unanimously supporting a resolution put forward by Cllr Chris Maskell on behalf of The Royal British Legion. He said: 'The Council believes the
people of Reading, in line with a request from The Royal British Legion,
should be given the opportunity to gather for remembrance in a formal
setting."
And Deputy Mayor Councillor
Gul Khan will lead a two minute silence outside the Civic Offices, also at
11am.
Everyone is welcome to join in the two minute silence at either
event later today.
