National Service of Remembrance
Commemorating the Fallen, Honoring the Sacrifice
Every year on Remembrance Sunday, the National Service of Remembrance is held at the Cenotaph on Whitehall, London. This solemn event provides the nation with a poignant physical reminder of the sacrifices made by those who have fallen in service to their country.
The service is attended by members of the Royal Family, government officials, military personnel, veterans, and members of the public. During the ceremony, wreaths are laid at the base of the Cenotaph, and a two-minute silence is observed in memory of the fallen.
