Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day 2025
On 9th and 11th November, Westminster City Council will honor the sacrifices of veterans and service personnel. These dates are part of the events leading up to Remembrance Day.
Support for the Poppy Appeal
The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, joined volunteers from the Royal British Legion at Marylebone Station in support of the 2025 Poppy Appeal. He expressed gratitude for their dedication by presenting long service awards to the volunteers.
The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, 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."
Armistice Day Observance
On Tuesday, wreaths will be laid outside Westminster City Hall and across the country just before 11 a.m. This marks the moment the guns fell silent in historic conflicts.
"As we pause to think about historic conflicts and those former service personnel who continue to live with the physical and mental scars, it will be a powerful and public way to show our continued thanks."
