In Barrhead, a parade will muster at 1.50pm outside the United Services Club with a 2pm march off to arrive at Cowan Park for a 2.30pm service.

Two minute silences will be held at Remembrance Sunday events to pause, reflect and remember the Armed Forces community and military personnel from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

The council is committed to a community covenant with the Armed Forces and Voluntary Action East Renfrewshire to build on its good relations between the Armed Forces community and partner organisations.

This voluntary statement of mutual support recognises and remembers the sacrifices made by members of the community, including those currently serving as well as their families.

Working with partners, the council is raising awareness and understanding of the issues affecting service personnel and improving local access to a range of supporting agencies.
