Afterwards, there will be a wreath laying ceremony at the Polish Memorial at the Solidarity Plaza, opposite Clydebank Town Hall.
Provost William Hendrie said: “It is important for us to remember the lives lost during the Blitz and the struggles faced by the surviving residents, we cannot imagine the devastation that residents faced after the attacks .
“On the 79th anniversary, the annual memorial service is not only an important part of the town’s history but a fitting tribute the residents who survived the Blitz and helped rebuild the town of Clydebank.”
All members of the public are most welcome to attend both events.
