Field Of Remembrance To Return To Carisbrooke Castle

Facebook: Carisbrooke Castle

A special field of remembrance will reopen to the public at Carisbrooke Castle this month — to commemorate those in the uniformed services who lost their lives in service of their country.

The field was introduced in the Princess Beatrice Garden at Carisbrooke Castle in 2010. This year it moves to the Governesses’ Lawn which is adjacent to the Princess Beatrice Garden.

It was established by the then Isle of Wight Lord-Lieutenant, Maj Gen Sir Martin White, as a place where residents can pay their respects around the time of Remembrance Sunday.

A short service of remembrance, which members of the public are welcome to attend, will take place at the castle on Thursday, November 10, at 10.45am.

Crosses can be purchased at the castle, with proceeds going to the Royal British Legion.

Refreshments at a small charge will be provided by the Women’s Institute.
