Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day Commemoration
This Sunday, 9 November, marks Remembrance Sunday, honoring the British and Commonwealth military and civilian personnel who contributed in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
Armistice Day Observance
On Tuesday, 11 November at 11 am, the Royal British Legion will hold a two-minute silence to mark the end of World War One.
Message from the Chair of the Council
“For many people, Remembrance is associated with the fallen of the First and Second World Wars, to whom we owe an incalculable debt of gratitude. I note that this year marks the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, VJ Day, and the Battle of Britain: three key events in the World War Two narrative.
The practical nature of conflict may have changed in certain ways, but the fundamental horror of war is no different. With so much turmoil and strife around the world, it is important to reflect also on the sacrifice of those who served in more recent conflicts around the globe, including the Falklands, Iraq and Afghanistan.
We are thankful for the diligence of those who ensure our safety every day: our serving Service personnel and Blue Light services as well as the families who support them.”
Key Reflections
- Remembrance honors those who served in both World Wars and later conflicts.

- Modern conflicts continue to demand recognition of sacrifice.
- Gratitude is extended to current armed forces, emergency services, and their families.
Summary: Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day recognize historic and recent sacrifices, emphasizing the enduring impact of war and gratitude to all who serve and support.
