Remembrance Sunday 2011

Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today. On this day people across the nation pause to reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave Service men and women.

In 2011 Remembrance Sunday is on Sunday 13 November - join us for the Annual Gathering of Commandos at Fort William for a Remembrance Parade in the morning at Fort William and then, later in the afternoon, for a Commando Remembrance Service at The Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge.

Hi Nick,

Is there any information yet about the Remembrance Service at Westminster Abbey this year? Also I wondered if this would tie in at all with the request last year for Commandos to attend the Cenotaph? Any info gratefully received.

Thanks

Hi Liz,

Sorry about the delay in replying.

I'm afraid I don't know if we'll see many Commando Veterans attending the Cenotaph March Past - maybe Geoff is better placed to answer this, I'll email him to see if he knows anything.

The Dept of Culture is responible for the arrangements for the Remembrance Service whilst the Royal British Legion organises the March Past so I hope this link will prove useful to you
