Hucknall Heritage Society is holding an event of commemoration at the start of September to mark 100 years since the Cenotaph was unveiled at Titchfield Park.

Thousands of local people gathered together on the park at 3:30pm on Sunday 3 September 1922 as the memorial to the Hucknall service men who had died due to the Great War, was revealed for the very first time.

This year, 100 years on, the society is organising a short gathering at the exact time as the original unveiling, 3.30pm, on Saturday 3 September at the Cenotaph to remember this important anniversary and those who died in the Great War and any of the wars since then.

Maureen Newton Chairman of Hucknall Heritage Society said: "The Society would be pleased for anyone to come and support this venture enabling us to thank those who died for us on the actual anniversary and time of the unveiling."

Hucknall Heritage Society was formed in 1984 and since the Covid-19 pandemic holds meetings on a quarterly basis at the Leisure Centre Wellbeing Hub meeting room.

The society's next meeting will be held on Friday 28 October from 2pm until 4pm.
