Mansfield business providing security for Remembrance parades

Posted onPosted on 17th Oct

Mansfield-based Premier Security 24/7 UK Events Ltd will be providing security and stewarding for the Remembrance parade in Mansfield, as well as similar events in Forest Town, Staveley, and Dronfield.

Premier said it would monitor crowd control, assist with road closures, and help those participating in the event.

A spokesperson added: “We are honoured to be involved in these special events that pay tribute to all those who have fallen for their country.

“We pride ourselves in ensuring that everyone who attends the event can pay their respects, while remaining safe at all times.”

On Sunday, 12 November, the Remembrance Sunday commemoration in Mansfield will begin at the Civic Centre War Memorial at 10am, with a wreath-laying ceremony involving civic dignitaries.

The parade will start at about 10.15am from the Civic Centre, heading to St Peter and St Paul’s Church along Rosemary Street, Westfield Lane, West Gate, Market Place, and Church Street.

The service, which is for parade participants, will start at about 10.40am and include a two-minutes’ silence at 11am.  Mansfield Community Choir will perform from 10.45am in the Market Place, followed by the two-minutes’ silence, led by Joe Martin, of the Mansfield branch of the Royal British Legion, at 11am.

After the service, the parade will regroup and make its way back along Church Street to the Market Place for a salute in front of the Old Town Hall at noon as a final mark of respect.

Mansfield Community Choir will return to the stage at around 11.05am-11.20am for a second performance and will then be dismissed at West Gate at approximately 12.15pm.
