Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day Message from the Chair of the Council
This Sunday, 9 November, marks Remembrance Sunday, honoring the contributions of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
Armistice Day will be observed on Tuesday, 11 November at 11am with the Royal British Legion, including a two-minute silence to commemorate the end of World War One.
Message from Caroline Leaver, Chair of the Council
“For many people, Remembrance is associated with the fallen of the First and Second World Wars, to whom we owe an incalculable debt of gratitude. I note that this year marks the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, VJ Day, and the Battle of Britain: three key events in the World War Two narrative.”
Caroline Leaver emphasizes that although the nature of conflict has evolved, the fundamental horror of war remains unchanged. Given current global unrest, it is also essential to remember those who served in more recent conflicts such as the Falklands, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
“We are thankful for the diligence of those who ensure our safety every day: our serving Service personnel and Blue Light services as well as the families who support them.”
These observances remind us to honor sacrifices made across generations and conflicts.
Author’s summary: This message highlights the importance of remembering all who served in global conflicts, honoring veterans from both historic world wars and recent military engagements.
