This Remembrance Sunday, Leeds will fall silent as it commemorates the civilians and soldiers lost in conflict since the start of the First World War.
Paying homage to both British and Commonwealth casualties, the city will host a remembrance service and two-minute silence on Victoria Gardens this Sunday, 10 November 2024, followed by a parade through the centre.
People from across Leeds can join the Lord Mayor on Sunday, and joining her to lay wreaths will be Lord-Lieutenant of West Yorkshire Ed Anderson, Leader of Leeds City Council Councillor James Lewis and other party leaders.
Starting from Leeds Civic Hall at 10.50 am, a procession will then depart and make its way to Victoria Gardens for the laying of wreaths.

At 11 am, a bugler will mark the two-minute silence for the Last Post. Then, after the service, the Lord Mayor and others will make their way to the war memorial from Rossington Street.
The multi-faith service at the war memorial will be led by the Bishop of Kirkstall Right Reverand Arun Arora, hoined by Rabbi Anthony Gilbert, Senior Imam Qari Muhammad Asim MBE, and the Very Rev Canon Father Matthew Habron.
The service will be broadcast on two big screens to allow members of the public who are not near the front to watch the proceedings.
Following the service, the Lord Mayor and civic representatives will proceed to Millennium Square, where a salute and march past will take place.

Speaking ahead of the service, the Lord Mayor of Leeds and Coun Abigail Marshall Katung said: “It is a great honour to lead our fantastic city, with its deep-rooted connections to the armed forces, in a poignant and moving act of remembrance.
“In these globally troubled times, it is more important than ever that we come together as one community to honour and remember the service and sacrifices of the British and Commonwealth armed forces in defending our freedoms.
"We also use the occasion to recognise and honour those who have lost their lives because of conflict or terrorism together with marking the vital role played by the emergency services and civilians.”
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.
