A one-off exemption from COVID-19 restrictions has been approved in relation to public gatherings for Remembrance Day services.
The exemption means wreath laying ceremonies and other memorial services can take place with up to 100 people present to pay their respects to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, provided they adhere to social distancing measures and have a COVID-19 Safety Plan in place.
The exemption applies to Remembrance Day services held before 12 November.
