Remembrance Sunday will be observed with seven official events across North East Lincolnshire this year.
Services will take place in Grimsby, Cleethorpes, New Waltham, Waltham, Stallingborough, Healing, and Immingham on Sunday, 9 November. A number of road closures will be in place to ensure the commemorations marking the Armistice – the official end of the First World War – can take place safely and without disruption.
