The parade will step off from Wulfruna Street at 10.30am on Sunday 8 November, and the public are encouraged to line the route.

Led by the West Midlands Fire Service Pipe Band, the parade will make its way into Princes Square, right into Lichfield Street, right into Exchange Street and into St Peter’s Square.

Once assembled in the square, the parade will be joined by civic dignitaries for an outdoor service of remembrance which is open to the public to join.

A 2 minute silence will take place at 11am before the laying of wreaths at the city’s cenotaph. This will be followed by a service of remembrance inside St Peter’s Church.

Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Paul Singh, said: "Remembrance Sunday is a time to reflect on the extraordinary courage, dedication and sacrifice of those who served, and to honour the debt of gratitude we owe them. By gathering as a community, we ensure their service and sacrifice are never forgotten.

"I encourage people from across Wolverhampton to join us next weekend as we come together to remember the men and women from our city and elsewhere who gave their lives in service to our country.

"I will be wearing my poppy with pride and hope others will do the same as a mark of respect for all those who have served, and continue to serve, in our Armed Forces."

The public are advised that city centre road closures will be in place on the morning of 8 November to enable the parade to take place. Wulfruna Street will be closed from 8am until 11am. The rest of the parade route will be closed to all traffic from 10am to allow the parade to march through safely and will reopen at approximately 10.50am.

The Royal British Legion is also inviting people to join a service to mark the anniversary of the end of the First World War on Armistice Day itself, Wednesday 11 November, 2026.

The nation will come to a standstill at 11am – 108 years to the day that the guns fell silent and the Great War came to an end. 

The City of Wolverhampton Central Branch of the Royal British Legion will be holding a short service at the Cenotaph in St Peter’s Square, with people invited to attend and join a national 2 minutes' silence at 11am.

Meanwhile, the Mayor and other dignitaries will pay their respects to the brigade of Dutch soldiers who were stationed at Wrottesley Park during the Second World War, at the annual Dutch War Graves Service of Remembrance at Jeffcock Road Cemetery on Saturday 7 November, 2026.

The poignant service, organised by the City of Wolverhampton Central Branch of the Royal British Legion, remembers the 23 soldiers from the Princess Irene Brigade who are buried at the cemetery.
