Plans for London’s Remembrance Sunday service revealed

The King will lead the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in London on Sunday, observing a two-minute silence at 11am to honour those who died in conflict. Other members of the royal family and senior politicians will lay wreaths, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer highlighting the nation's duty to remember and uphold the values fought for. Approximately 10,000 armed forces veterans, including around 20 from the Second World War, will participate in the Royal British Legion’s march-past. Among the Second World War veterans attending are 101-year-old Donald Poole, a Royal Army Ordnance Corps technician, and Sid Machin, a 'Chindit' soldier from the Burma campaign. Eileen Marshall, 98, one of three female Second World War veterans marching, will represent the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRNS) and honour her late husband and fallen comrades.
