What time is Remembrance Day? In Yorkshire, the national two-minute silence will be observed at 11:00 GMT on Sunday 8 November as communities mark Remembrance Sunday with services and parades. In York, Margaret Wells will lead the civic party from Mansion House to the City War Memorial before the ceremony begins at 10:58 GMT.
York and Ripon timings
The York Remembrance parade leaves Clifford's Tower at 10:20 GMT, giving residents nearly 40 minutes before the silence begins to reach the City War Memorial and take their places. Margaret Wells, the Lord Mayor of York, will lead the civic party on that route. In Ripon, an act of commemoration in Spa Gardens is scheduled for 10:50 GMT, followed by a Remembrance Day service at Ripon Cathedral at 11:45 GMT.
Leeds and Wakefield schedules
Leeds City Council has a procession leaving Leeds Civic Hall at 10:50, placing that event just before the national silence. Wakefield Council has a parade leaving Wakefield cathedral's west door at 10:40 GMT, with the wreath laying service due to begin at 10:55 GMT. That leaves a narrow five-minute gap between the Wakefield service and the 11:00 GMT silence.
Huddersfield and Yorkshire
Huddersfield will begin with a parade leaving Huddersfield Town Hall at 10:30 GMT, then pause for a service at Huddersfield Parish Church at 10:50. The parade will re-form at around 11:40 GMT and return to the town hall. Across Yorkshire, the events are spread across several towns and cities, but the exact local attendance numbers are not given, leaving the scale of turnout at each site open. Residents of all ages are warmly invited to attend and show their support as we honour the courage, service and sacrifice of the armed forces community.
For readers planning to take part, the fixed point is the same everywhere: 11:00 GMT on Sunday 8 November. The local schedules all lead to that moment, with each community arranging its parade or service around the national silence rather than after it.
