From 7.30pm to 9.30pm, Kenilworth Town Council will be hosting a commemorative event at Kenilworth Castle.

The community event will feature a service by the Royal British Legion, a performance by local school choirs, a piper and the lighting of a beacon in one of the castle's towers.

The free event will take place at The Stables at the castle and over 100 local children will be performing.
