The 30th Anniversary of the Enniskillen bombing, often known as the Poppy day massacre will take place on the 8th of November.
On that day 30 years ago, 11 people were killed including 10 civilians and a police officer, as well as injuring 63 people in a bomb attack carried out by the Provisional IRA.
To commemorate the events of that day, the Ely Centre in Enniskillen will be leading the arrangements and have organised two events.
The first is the unveiling of a memorial at the Clinton Centre, with a short religious service at 10.30am.
That will be followed by a Religious Service which is to be held in the Presbyterian Church at 11.30, accompanied by a light lunch afterwards.
These will both take place on the morning of the 8th of November one after the other.
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council will be supporting the 30th anniversary events but not leading them.
They will also be providing financial support towards the costs, which comes to £5950 at a maximum cost.
