Mayor Jilani Chowdhury will lead Islington’s acts of remembrance on Armistice Day this Sunday.
More than 1,000 people are expected to watch the procession from Highbury Corner past the Town Hall to Islington Green tomorrow, with police stopping traffic on Upper Street for the two minutes’ silence.
The parade will mark the 94th anniversary of the end of the First World War.
The mayor, a Barnsbury councillor, said: “It is an honour for me to represent all of Islington’s residents in these acts of Remembrance. “Please join us at one of the three events across the borough or at Camden and Islington Cemetery in East Finchley.”
