The Royal British Legion is recognised as the national custodian of Remembrance. 

Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today.

All serving and former service personnel are warmly invited to march in the parade, regardless of whether you are a Legion member or when you served—be it regular, TA, national service, during the Second World War, the Cold War, etc. Widows and relatives of the deceased are also encouraged to participate.
