On Thursday 6th June the nation will remember the D-Day landings in 1944 - when British and Allied troops landed on the Normandy beaches to start rolling back the Nazi occupation of France and the Low Countries, and fight on to bring the Second World War to an end in Europe.
On this 80th anniversary, the timetable of observances follows a pattern across the country. In Kidderminster these observances will take place at the steps of St Mary's Church.
At 7.55 am Kidderminster's Town Crier will herald the day, with a bagpipe tribute at 8 am.
At 6.30 pm the bells of St Mary''s will ring out.
At 9 pm there will again be a Town crier proclamation, bagpipe tribute and now a Tribute from the Mayor.
The church will be open during the day.
And at 12 noon in St Mary's church there will be a short gathering (20 minutes) to mark the anniversary, honour the bravery of those involved in D-Day, and to pray for world peace now.
You are invited to come and share in this.
