Civic services of Remembrance, parades and wreath layings will be held across Altrincham this Sunday.
The events will give local residents the chance to remember the service men and women who gave their lives in both world wars and in more recent conflicts.
The Mayor of Trafford, Cllr Amy Whyte, will attend the service in Altrincham.
Cllr Whyte said: “I will be joining thousands of people from across our borough in pausing and reflecting on the sacrifices our Armed Forces have made for us.
"Together, we will remember and honour those who died or were injured, to protect us and our freedom. I am calling on everyone in Trafford to make it to a service, if they can.”
