Remembrance Sunday: Sunday 12th November

The National Service of Remembrance, held at The Cenotaph in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday, provides the nation with a physical reminder of all those who have served and sacrificed, with British and Commonwealth soldiers, sailors, airmen and women represented, together with members of the emergency services and civilians, ensuring that no-one is forgotten.

A Two Minute Silence will be observed at 11am, followed by the National Service of Remembrance including the Veteran March Past. 

You can watch or listen to the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on BBC One and BBC Radio 4. 

The NMA will also be holding their annual Remembrance Sunday Service of Remembrance. It’s free to attend and will take place at the base of the Armed Forces Memorial. The Service will also be shown on a large screen in Heroes' Square.
