In previous years the number of members of the public attending the services has increased and people are advised to arrive in plenty of time.
Mayor of Sefton, Cllr Dave Robinson, said:
“Without fail every year councillors, council officers, members of the public and our armed forces are rightfully present at the many services taking place across the borough.
“As the Mayor of Sefton I am very proud to attend them and I hope as many people as possible will attend the services held in Sefton on this very important date.
“It gives us the opportunity to spend some time to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave service men and women over the years in various conflicts.”
Cllr Bobby Brennan, Sefton Council’s Armed Forces champion, added:
“All the services taking place in Sefton and across the country are very important as we remember those who lost their lives in conflict past and present.
“They give us a chance for us all to remember how we owe a huge debt to every single one of them for the peace and freedom we currently enjoy today. As we pause to remember the fallen we are mindful of our serving men and women as they carry out their duties both at home and overseas.”
