Here are some of the local details, correct as of 22 October 2020.

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole: On Remembrance Sunday, there will be short private services in each town attended by a small civic party including the mayor. Short private services will also take place in Bournemouth and Poole on Wednesday 11 November, with representation from the armed forces. Members of the public will be unable to attend

Dorset Council: ­will be live streaming its Remembrance service on Facebook from 10.45am on Wednesday 11 November. It will be led by Reverend John Yarrien with a maximum of eight wreaths being laid. Due to COVID-19 restrictions only 14 people can attend and members of the public cannot be invited to the service itself but are invited to join online. The council is also encouraging people to ‘remember on their doorsteps’ on Remembrance Sunday at 11am to mark the two-minute silence.

Ferndown: There is usually a big Remembrance Sunday parade in Ferndown, but this year things will be very different. A pre-recorded service, which has been compiled by St Mary’s Church will be broadcast from 3pm on Sunday 8 November. The link will be circulated via St Mary’s Church Facebook page and website and will be shared by the town council and Royal British Legion. The Royal British Legion will be holding a short service in its Garden of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday morning and Armistice Day where numbers will be kept to a minimum. As this is a small space and in the interest of social distancing, people are discouraged to attend but are welcome to visit after the service to mark their respect but are reminded that they must observe the rule of six and social distancing rules.

Fordingbridge: A small service conducted by the vicar is planned at 11am on Remembrance Day 11 November at Stuckton Road cemetery. An event is also planned on Remembrance Sunday at the Memorial Gates at the Recreation Ground.

Ringwood: There will be a film and live stream Remembrance Service at the War Memorial on Sunday 8 November at which representatives from the town council, churches and Royal British Legion will attend. The organisers request that the public do not attend the War Memorial from 10.30am to 11.30am to allow for the service to go ahead. Individuals and organisations wishing to place wreaths and individual tributes at the War Memorial are invited to do so before the service. Followers online will be able to view the service, which will include the Last Post to begin the national two minutes silence at 11am followed by Reveille. A short service will follow with prayers and the laying of two wreaths.

West Moors: A small service will be held on Remembrance Sunday at the War Memorial, which is on the Petwyn Village Green, Station Road. The town council says it will endeavour to honour as many of the Remembrance Day traditions as possible, but unfortunately there will not be any opportunity for individual organisations or the public to attend or to lay a wreath during the short service; however names of organisations within the village will be read out. If you would like to order a wreath to lay at your own convenience, please contact Roy or Margaret Setchfield on 01202 897984 or email setchfield4@btinternet.com

Wimborne: There will be a service in Wimborne Minster at 3pm on Sunday 8 November but it is by invitation only as the capacity of the church is just 70 rather than 700. On Remembrance Day there will be a socially distanced wreath laying and short service on the Minster Green, but the public are asked not to attend.

Verwood: On Remembrance Sunday a short service will be held at the Memorial Stone on Ferrett Green. The Mayor Cllr Matthew Parker, the Revd Deborah Matthews and a representative from the Royal British Legion will attend with the town clerk. The service will be live streamed on Facebook, and broadcast by Forest FM. Residents are asked not to attend the service; however the Memorial Stone’s gates will be open from 8am to 6pm on Sunday for all to lay their wreaths and crosses during the day.
