Remembrance Sunday 2019

Every year, the Legion calls on the nation to unite in commemorating Remembrance Sunday.

On Sunday 10 November 2019, the National Service of Remembrance will be held at the Cenotaph on Whitehall, London.

Starting at 11am, the service will honours the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community, the British and Commonwealth veterans, the Allies that fought alongside us and the civilian servicemen and women involved in the two World Wars and later conflicts.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Every year the nation unites to make sure that no-one is forgotten and to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.

Each year, up to 10,000 veterans will participate in the March Past.
