🙏 Remembrance Sunday ceremony takes place at Victoria Embankment today

Nottingham's traditional Remembrance Sunday service takes place today at Victoria Embankment war memorial from 10:45am. The ceremony includes Armed Forces parade, two-minute silence and wreath laying by Lord-Lieutenant, Lord Mayor and military representatives, with music from Nottinghamshire Band of The Royal Engineers. A large screen and PA system will help the public observe proceedings, with the Embankment closed between Wilford Grove and Bunbury Street. Toilet facilities will be available throughout. | Source

🕙 Council House clock restored for first time in nearly 50 years

Nottingham's iconic Council House clock has been completely restored for the first time in nearly half a century, with 1,195 individual parts carefully dismantled, repaired and reassembled. The complex restoration included repairs to quarter chiming levers, new bearings and oil seals, upgraded electrical systems, and crucially replacing six corroded bolts securing Little John bell to prevent future cracking. The clock room has been cleaned, redecorated and upgraded with new heating and lighting, ensuring the timepiece will chime reliably for another hundred years. | Source
