ROYAL BRITISH LEGION - CANCELLATION OF REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY SERVICE 8 NOVEMBER 2020
Remembrance Sunday Service 8 November 2020
PRESS RELEASE REGARDING CANCELLATION OF THE EVENT
It is with great sadness that the Royal British Legion, Paphos Branch BR3692, must cancel the Remembrance Sunday Service at Paphos Harbour this year.
With the current coronavirus situation, we cannot guarantee the availability of the harbour or permission to hold such a large event.
Safety at the event is of paramount importance, but we cannot ensure everyone's protection from the virus in such a large group.
This is such an important event and the culmination of the Poppy Appeal, that we cannot let the day go by without a service of some kind. We are actively seeking a smaller location where the service may be held, but the number of attendees will be restricted and by invite only
To enable as many people as possible to watch the service, we intend to live stream the event. However, this is currently very much at the planning stage. We will advise everyone as soon as the details are finalised.
We are sorry to disappoint the many loyal Remembrance Sunday attendees who support us each and every year, but the situation is out of our hands.
We look forward to seeing you all at the 2021 service, where we will also be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Royal British Legion,
