The parade steps off from Wulfruna Street at 10.30am on Sunday (9 November), and the public are encouraged to line the route.

Led by the West Midlands Fire Service Band, the parade will make its way into Princes Square, right in 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 watch.

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 Craig Collingswood, said: "I hope that people will come out in force on Sunday to be part of this year’s event and to remember those from our great city who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

"Remembrance Sunday is our chance to honour the courage, sacrifice, and service of those who gave everything for our freedom. By coming together, we can remember their valour and service and show that their legacy lives on.

“I will be wearing my poppy with pride and I would urge everyone to do the same and show their support for our Armed Forces community, past and present."

He added: "As chair of the Wolverhampton Armed Forces Covenant Board – and as the father of a son currently serving in the Army – this day holds deep personal significance for me. It’s a moment for all of us to reflect, remember, and stand united in gratitude."

The public are advised city centre road closures will be in place on the morning of 9 November to enable the parade to take place. Wulfruna Street will be closed from 8.30am until 11am. The rest of the parade route will be closed to all traffic from 10.30am 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, Tuesday 11 November, 2025.

The nation will come to a standstill at 11am – 107 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 (8 November).

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.
