After the service, the parade will start its new route leaving Abbotsbury Road, turning left onto London Road, past the Civic Centre arriving at St Lawrence Church for 10.45am where a multi-faith service will be held.
The dedication service will be led by the Revd Canon Graham Derriman, Chaplain to the Royal British Legion, and will be followed by the raising of the Union Flag, led by Mayor of Merton, Councillor Krystal Miller and the Queen's Deputy Lieutenant for Merton, The Right Honourable Sir John Wheeler, JP.
They will be joined by local representatives from the Royal British Legion, Mitcham and Morden MP Siobhain McDonagh, Wimbledon MP Stephen Hammond, Council Leader, Councillor Stephen Alambritis and other local councillors representing wards across Merton.
