Members of the public are encouraged to take part in the annual Remembrance Day service next Tuesday in honour of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in war.

   The Remembrance Day parade will form at the Perth Legion at 10:15 a.m., says organizer Eric Devlin, and will leave shortly after.

   “We want to be in place at the cenotaph by 10:45 a.m.,” he added.

   The parade will follow the usual Beckwith to Herriott and north on Drummond Street route, then return via Isabella, south on Gore Street, where the salute will be accepted on the front steps of the Perth Museum.

   The service at the cenotaph in front of the Great War Memorial Hospital will include hymns, prayers and the reading of the names of area residents lost in the First World War and Second World War.

   A veterans’ remembrance dinner will be held at the Legion later that day.

   Poppies are now on sale at locations throughout town, in support of the Royal Canadian Legion.
