West orchards to fall silent ON remembrance day

West Orchards Shopping Centre will again fall silent on 11 November, as 4,000 poppy petals are dropped in memory of the country’s war heroes.

 

The commemorative service supported by West Orchards, The Royal British Legion and Coventry City Council is a moving, reflective and poignant reminder to city shoppers, workers and residents, of those who gave their lives in service to their country.

 

The event begins at 10.45am in the yellow corner of level 3, with speeches from the Lord Mayor of Coventry Cllr Mal Mutton, and West Orchards’ Manager Andy Talbot, followed by prayers.

 

At 11am a bugler from the Coventry Corps of Drums will sound the Last Post, which heralds the two minutes’ silence, during which time thousands of poppy petals will be released to fall gracefully from the domed roof of the shopping centre.
