The Committee for Education, Sport & Culture is inviting World War II Veterans, those who were resident in the island during the occupation and any evacuees to apply for a seat so they can watch in comfort.

One application can be made per household, either by the individual themselves or a family member/carer on their behalf.

The raked seated area will be set up next to the Guernsey Information Centre along the St Peter Port seafront.

There are two sessions available for viewing:

  • Session One – to view the parade from 09:00 until 11:00

  • Session Two – to view the cavalcade from 13:30 until 17:00

Applications should be sent via email to heidi.sandy@mourant.com and must include the applicant’s name, date of birth, address and email.

The application should also answer the following question:

  • Do you require a wheelchair space or a seat on the stand?

  • Are you a blue badge holder?

  • Are you a World War II Veteran, a resident during the occupation or an evacuee?

  • Which session would you like to attend?

Those without email can call 739306, no later than 14 March, to request tickets. Someone will be available to answer the calls between 17:30 and 19:30 on Monday 2 March and Monday 10 March, or between 10:00 and 14:00 on Saturday 14 March.

As there are a limited number of seats and wheelchair spaces available, priority will be given to those who are less mobile.

One family member or carer will be invited to stand alongside the seating area to watch the parade or cavalcade.

Successful applicants will be notified by 20 March and a ticket and parking information will be sent by post.
