Present as well will be soldiers from the Duke of Wellington Regiment, who served in Bosnia, and individuals from Opera North, including Stephen Shulman, composer with the company.
Rudi Leavor, Jewish community leader, will be attending, and the event will be led by the Mayor of Calderdale, Dot Foster, and the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, Ed Anderson.
The event will begin at 6pm and end at 8pm.
