Royal British Legion

In 2021 we are marking 100 years since the nation’s collective Remembrance traditions were first brought together.

The poppy, two-minute silence, Armistice Day, the service for the Unknown Warrior, and the march-past at the Cenotaph are traditions that millions participate in every year.
