At Shorncliffe Military Cemetery, in West Road, lie 305 Canadian Soldiers who died in service during WWI. Each year a service is held in their memory. Many children from local schools come to honour them by laying flowers on their graves.
The Folkestone Town Mayor leads a procession from the Army Barracks to the Cenotaph in the centre of the cemetery, where prayers are read for those who gave their lives. Joining the procession is the Town Mayor of Hythe and the Chairman of Sandgate Parish Council, Military Personnel, Royal British Legion representatives and local Councillors.
Members of the public can attend this moving ceremony to pay their respects.
