The Anglican Cathedral on Church Street will host a special Remembrance Day service this Sunday from 10am.

This year marks the 100th anniversary since the Bermuda Militia Artillery and the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps entered the First World War, fighting with the Allied Forces in the Battle of the Somme.

To commemorate the occasion, the cathedral has received four ceramic poppies from the 2014 Tower of London exhibition ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’.

The artworks will sit permanently in the Warrior’s Chapel to remember the sacrifice of those who fought in the conflict, which claimed 90 Bermudian lives, and the chapel will also feature photographs and trench art loaned by Carol Everson.

The service will be open to the public, and the Bishop of Bermuda Rev Nicholas Dill has also invited those whose ancestors fought in the war to bring any stories or memorabilia along.

For those unable to attend, the service will be broadcast on radio station Power 95
