However, in Chatteris, the Royal British Legion has been advised to take extra precautions on the day meaning the church service will be scaled back.

With Covid cases continuing to rise, the service will include Covid-safe measures including mandatory face coverings and limited numbers.

A spokesperson said: “Everyone entering the church MUST wear a face covering.

“Invited guests, veterans, serving military personnel and standard/flag bearers will be given priority to attend the service.

They added that those representing community organisations will be asked to limit their attendance to two members.

“We have to be sensible in considering the health and wellbeing of everyone taking part,” said the spokesperson.
