Every Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the service personnel who've died while serving in all global conflicts. We honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country – and those who serve today.
Remembrance Day on 11 November is a time to reflect on the enduring impact of war on communities around the world. Remembrance Sunday on 9 November allows those who may not be able to attend a Remembrance Day service during the week to pay their respects.
