The Lord Mayor said: "As first citizen, it will be a huge privilege to represent the people of Westminster at Westminster Abbey on Sunday. In the lead up to Remembrance Day, I have attended a variety of events and was moved on each occasion by the feeling of everyone there. From veterans to young cadets, there is a shared sense of thanks and obligation to those who gave their lives in past conflicts and give us our freedoms."
