What is Remembrance Day?<\/h2>\n

London will fall silent at 11am on 11 November for two minutes. It is at this time that the Nation stands to remember and honour the fallen who have given everything for the freedom we enjoy today. This day of remembrance marks the anniversary of the end of World War One and is especially poignant this year as it is also the 100th<\/sup>anniversary of the end of the First World War.<\/p>\n

Visitors to London will find they see poppies everywhere, on people\u2019s jackets, cars and in specially commissioned art work. There will be ceremonies at war memorials, cenotaphs and churches throughout London, the country and abroad. The Royal Family and top politicians will gather at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London for a memorial service.<\/p>\n

1. Two minute silence<\/h3>\n

Each year at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the nation observes a Two Minute Silence. Armistice Day on 11 November marks the end of the First World War and is a day to remember and honour those who have paid the price for our freedom. Wherever you are at this time, on this day, you will find people observing this two minute silence.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph<\/h3>\n

Held at The Cenotaph in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday, The National Service of Remembrance, helps to make sure no-one is forgotten and honours all who have suffered or died in war.<\/p>\n

Her Majesty The Queen will pay tribute alongside politicians, representatives of the Armed Forces, Fishing Fleets and Merchant Air and Navy. Faith communities and High Commissioners of Commonwealth countries will also attend.<\/p>\n

The service will commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women involved in the two World Wars and later conflicts.<\/p>\n

This year, with Remembrance Sunday falling on the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, it is expected that a greater number of people will want to view the ceremony. There will also be an additional event, the Nation\u2019s Thank You procession taking place immediately after The Royal British Legion parade.<\/p>\n

3. A Nation\u2019s Thank You \u2013 the People\u2019s Procession<\/h3>\n

In 2018, for the end of the First World War Centenary Commemorations, the Government has organised for an additional 10,000 members of the public to parade past the cenotaph after the Legion organised march has finished. This promises to be a very poignant and moving spectacle.<\/p>\n
