Crystal Peaks and Royal British Legion to mark Remembrance Day
Crystal Peaks shopping centre will fall silent on Saturday, November 7 as staff and visitors remember the people who lost their lives in two world wars and subsequent global conflicts.
Members of the Royal British Legion will meet at 10.45 am and form up in the Crystal Peaks Central Atrium where they will observe the Last Post and the traditional two minutes silence at 11am.
“Our Remembrance Day event is a tradition that Crystal Peaks is always extremely proud and honoured to support and we are very pleased to welcome our veterans back again,” said centre manager Lee Greenwood.
“We know that our visitors are always pleased to observe the two minutes silence and share this special moment of tribute and gratitude to our Armed Forces.”
The Centre will also be observing silences on Remembrance Sunday, November 8, and on Armistice Day, Wednesday 11, both at 11am.
Poppies and other fund-raising items can be purchased from the Royal British Legion volunteers at the Crystal Peaks Community Desk or from the Customer Care Desk.
