Dignitaries due to attend include Lord Mayor Cllr Tina Tuohy, Lady Mayoress Freya Hitt, Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Devon Rear Admiral Christopher Snow, and the Bishop of Plymouth The Rt Revd James Grier.

Wreaths will be laid by Rear Admiral Snow, the Lord Mayor on behalf of the people of Plymouth - and the Commander of HMNB Devonport.

This year the service will be joined by the visiting German ship FGS Braunschweig, who will lay a wreath, followed by the Military Kids Club Heroes, a support group of service family children from across the city.

Pupils from local schools have also been invited to take part.
