The ceremony commenced at the Military Square of the cemetery with a moment of reflection and the laying of wreaths, officiated by Jérémy Pic, the 1st deputy. Musicians from the Étoile Marvejolaise then led the procession towards Place Henri Cordesse.
In front of the War Memorial, the official ceremony brought together Madam Mayor, members of the Municipal Council, young people from the CMJ, veterans, memory associations, the gendarmerie, firefighters, the Young Firefighters (JSP), authorities, and various Marvejols associations.
