Remembrance Sunday commemorates the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women involved in World War I, World War II and later conflicts and is marked by a parade and wreath-laying at the Cenotaph in Whitehall.
The ceremony is attended by members of the Royal Family, who join the Armed Forces, ex-service men and women, political leaders and representatives of faith communities for a two-minute silence at 11am.
This year the event takes place on Sunday November 13. The somber tones of the Last Post are sounded before the wreath-laying and a short religious service. The Royal British Legion (RBL) detachments form up on Horse Guards Parade and on Whitehall from 9am. The cenotaph service finishes at 11.25am.
Everyone is welcome to watch the military march-past from the pavements along Whitehall and Parliament Street and orders of service are distributed by the Scouts. Whitehall will be open from 8am. No tickets or passes are needed for the event, however entry may be limited if the area becomes full.
There will be video screens to watch the service north of the Cenotaph in front of the statue of Field Marshal Montgomery, in the lay-by outside Dover House and close to the junction of Whitehall Place. There is also a screen south of the Cenotaph on the corner of King Charles Street.
The Royal British Legion also holds an annual Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall, which will take place on Saturday. This year’s event is taking place on Saturday November 12, with performances set for 2pm and 7pm.
