Remembrance Sunday 2025 - Lest we forget

Two red poppies against a bright blue sky

Remembrance Sunday happens on the Sunday closest to 11 November, which is Armstice Day.

There will be services across the UK today, laying wreaths and taking a moment of silence to remember those service men and women who fought valiantly for our country and the many others who have been affected by war.

The National Service of Remembrance in London will be featured on BBC, Sky, ITV and on radio if you'd like to watch or listen along to the service. A two minute silence will take place, the Royal Family will lay a wreath, and 10,000 veterans and eligible participants will be marching to commemorate all those lost in war.

If you'd like to join in a quiet moment of contemplation, the two minute silence will start at 11am.

Is anyone heading to a service today? Or will you be watching on the TV?

    My 16 year old granddaughter who is in the Air Force cadets is laying a wreath at our local memorial. I am one proud grandma.

    To each and every one who fought in any war, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service ❤️

    I watch it on TV with my candles lit. With deep gratitude and respect 🙏. The Festival of Remembrance on BBC last night was very moving.

    My older brother marched in London yesterday. He was in Northern Ireland along with my other late brother. Yet starmer is letting the veterans that served there, be prosecuted. Seeing starmer, Blair, Lammy there is disgusting. They are unpatriotic. My late dad served in WW2, Dunkirk, which being waiting in the sea, to be picked up, gave him bronchitis. He was Monte Casino, which was brutal, and North Africa. He's younger brother was killed age 20, by the Germans bombing Marstan barracks, He was in the Raf. Veteran s are on the streets, and live in shabby housing
