Remembrance Services 2023

As Armistice Day approaches, it is a time to reflect and remember those we have lost in service and show our support to serving and former members of the Armed Forces and their families.

November 11, which is also recognised at Remembrance Day, will see a two minutes silence held across the country at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
