Remembrance Sunday, which falls on Sunday 10 November 2024, is a national opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.
We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.
Armistice Day on Monday 11 November 2024 commemorates the signing of the Armistice which brought an end to the First World War and remembers all those who gave their lives in service to their country since 1914.
