  Not much information is seemingly available about changes to bus routes/times during Remembrance Sunday Parade.
  
  Anyone know anything?

  I have copied this by Capel-Le-Ferne Parish Council from FB regarding the poppy fall over the Battle of Britain War Memorial but nothing more local. This will be so very moving much like the poppy fall at the end of the Albert Hall Remembrance Service on Saturday.......
  
  *** UPDATE *** YOUR HELP IS REQUIRED PLEASE!
  SUNDAY, 10th NOVEMBER @ 11AM. Kent Police are aware of the event!
  Three-quarters of a million poppies are to be dropped over the White Cliffs of Dover in an emotional tribute to the fallen for Remembrance Day.
  This event will obviously, weather permitting, be a spectacular event.
  PLEASE COULD WE ASK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PARKING CONSIDERATELY IF VISITING THE VILLAGE FOR THIS.
  Residents, it would be appreciated if you could walk to the Clifftop/Memorial Site and visitors, as the Memorial Site has limited parking, to park considerately by not blocking residents driveways or in a dangerous way. Thank you.
  =============================================
  THE POPPIES ARE BIODEGRADABLE
  Three-quarters of a million poppies are to be dropped over the White Cliffs of Dover in an emotional tribute to the fallen for Remembrance Day.
  An original Second World War Dakota aircraft will fly over the landmark at exactly 11am on Sunday, flanked by two Spitfires.
  As the nation falls silent, the Dakota will soar above the Kent countryside to mark 74 years since the end of the Second World War.
  Veterans from several conflicts, including the Second World War, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan, will signal the drop from on board the Dakota as the formation reaches the sky above the cliffs.
  The event is the brainchild of Kent-based Aero Legends, with proceeds going to the annual Poppy Appeal.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  Remember: it's 'Remembrance'.

  So I made a typo. Pretty childish to remark on it really.

  I took the trouble to aak at the bus station (thus making better use of my time than some who troll internet forums) and was told any hold-ups of public transport would be brief, there would be no diversions and all services would run, if perhaps a little late for a while.
  
  May be of interest to some heading to Crabble on Sunday.

  It should be noted that it is repeatedly being reported as a poppy drop over the White Cliffs of Dover, it isn't, it is over the Battle of Britain memorial which is situated just outside the area known as the White Cliffs, I can see a lot of people heading for Langdon cliffs.
