FILE

Remembrance Day Ceremonies will take place on Sunday, 13 November; followed by a public holiday on Monday, 14 November in observance of veterans who lost their lives in the line of duty.

The Grand Cayman ceremony will be held at the Cenotaph outside Elmslie Memorial United Church in George Town – which will also be streamed live on CIGTV channels.

The Cayman Brac ceremony will take place in front of the War Memorial Cenotaph in Stake Bay.

Ceremonies are open to the public, and will start precisely at 10.45 a.m. Attendees and participants are asked to be assembled and seated by 10.30 a.m.

The public is being asked to be mindful that road closures around the events will occur to ensure safe passage of the parade. 

Individuals or religious organisations who wish to pay their respects by laying wreaths at the Cenotaph or the War Memorial, please email [email protected] by Monday, 7 November

Everyone attending the ceremony is encouraged to wear a poppy.

Donations for poppies are encouraged but discretionary. Donations are used to assist veterans or their widows to ensure that they receive the help they need to live with comfort, dignity and appreciation.

Poppies can be collected from the Government Administration Building on Grand Cayman and the District Administration Building on Cayman Brac.
