On 11^th November, the 100^th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities in WW1 will be commemorated at St Paul’s Church, Sandgate Hill, and the fallen who gave their lives in conflicts past and present will be remembered.

The service will start at 10.00am and then further prayers will take place at the Sandgate War Memorial at the junction of Sandgate High Street and Military Road at 10.45am approximately.

There will be an evening service at 6.45pm at the Sir John Moore Memorial, on Sandgate Esplanade, when the beacon will be lit and the bells of St Paul’s will ring out as part of the nationwide commemorative event.

Holders, and relatives of holders of medals, are encouraged to wear these at both events.

Everyone is welcome to join the service at the Church, War Memorial, Sir John Moore Memorial or all three.

It will be necessary to close Horn Street, Hythe from 23 October 2018 for up to 1 Day.

The road will be closed between the junctions of Cheriton High Street and Church Road.

The alternative route is via Church Road, Risborough Lane onto Cheriton High Street.

This is to enable carriageway patching repair works to be carried out by Kent  County Council.
