The Mayor of Enfield, Cllr Mohammad Islam, is inviting residents and their friends and families to join him at two special ceremonies to mark this important day.
A commemorative service will take place at 9am at Enfield War Memorial (junction of Windmill Hill and Chase Side, EN2), where wreaths will be laid by the Deputy Lieutenant, Mayor of Enfield, Armed Forces representatives and local councillors.
A beacon of light service will take place at Enfield Civic Centre in Silver Street at 8.45pm on the same day, where the Mayor of Enfield, in line with the national movement, will light a beacon as a ‘lamp light of peace’. The flames will represent the ‘light of peace’ that emerged from the dreadful darkness of war.
Between 8.30pm and 8.45pm The Royal British Legion has arranged for the Enfield Choral Society to lead a community sing-song at the start of the service and when the beacon lighting begins. Between 8.50pm–9.10 pm they will be leading community singing of WW2 songs and at 9.25pm approx. leading the singing of “I Vow to Thee my country” before the Beacon lighting at 9.30 pm.
