The London Eye will illuminate in the shape of a poppy twice — once on Remembrance Sunday and again on Armistice Day — as part of the city’s tributes to fallen soldiers.
Remembrance Sunday falls on November 9 this year, followed by Armistice Day on Tuesday, November 11. Throughout the week, landmarks across London will honour those who lost their lives in battle.
On both evenings, the London Eye will glow red and green to resemble a poppy. As night falls over the Thames, the pods will stand out against the skyline with their vivid colours, offering a striking memorial in light.
"Those visiting the London Eye on either Remembrance Sunday or Armistice Day will be asked to join in a two-minute silence to honour both occasions."
This gesture continues an annual tradition in the capital, where the London Eye lights up to mark Remembrance Day. Across the city, Transport for London will display poppies on station roundels and decorate selected buses in the same theme.
Visitors can view the light show across the weekend and the following week, witnessing one of London’s most recognisable landmarks pay tribute in a glowing reminder of remembrance.
