Remembrance Sunday

Remembrance Sunday

Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday of November, the Sunday nearest to 11 November (Remembrance Day), which is the anniversary of the end of the hostilities of the First World War in 1918.

Remembrance Day History

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918 Europe was finally at peace. After four years of bitter fighting, World War One was over. Six hours earlier at 5am an Armistice was signed in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne, France to bring the hostilities to an end.

One year later the first Armistice Day has held throughout Britain and the Commonwealth. Later the commemoration was called Remembrance Day. Over time, and especially since the end of WWII it has become a time to remember the glorious dead.

The National Ceremony

Every year on the second Sunday in November, The Royal Family, along with politicians, religious leaders and military services gather at The Cenotaph in Whitehall, London for this poignant remembrance service.
