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.

The Lord Mayor’s Show 2007

Lord Mayor's Show 2007

Saturday 10 November 2007 at 11am

Dating back to 1215, the Lord Mayor’s Show is one of the longest running and best known annual events in London. This street parade is a mixture of pageantry and carnival. David Lewis was elected as 680th Lord Mayor for the City of London and will take his place in the large procession starting from the City of London to the Royal Courts of Justice in Westminster, where the newly elected Lord Mayor will swear allegiance to the Crown.

The Lord Mayor will travel in a State Coach pulled by six horses joining over 6000 other people including the giant guardians of the City of London – Gog and Magog.

The show’s dramatic finale will be begin at 5pm when the newly confirmed Lord Mayor will launch more than half a tonne of giant fireworks to light up London’s skyline. The best views are to be seen from the Victoria Embankment.
