ITV will cover the first official visit of the Lt Governor and the Bailiff of Guernsey who will lead the act of rememberance at the site which saw so many Guernseymen loose their lives.
The French republic will be represented by Senator Guislain Gambier, Sous Prefet Facal Douhane, Vice President Nicolas Siegler and Consillers Yannick Caremelle and Sylvie Clerc.
In Guernsey the service starts at 11 am and will be led by Senior Jurat Stephen Jones with representative of States, Education Sport & Culture, St Peter Port Parish, Student Exchange Schools together with veterans associations and standards from the RGLI, RBL Guernsey, Alderney and Sark.
