Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day 2025
On November 9 and 11, Westminster City Council will honor and reflect on the sacrifices made by veterans and active service members. These commemorations are part of the events leading to Remembrance Day.
The Poppy Appeal and Community Support
The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, joined volunteers from the Royal British Legion at Marylebone Station to support the 2025 Poppy Appeal. He expressed his gratitude for their dedication and presented several long service awards to the volunteers.
“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.”
National Moments of Reflection
On Tuesday, wreaths will be placed outside Westminster City Hall and across the nation just before 11 a.m., marking the moment the guns fell silent. This symbolic act invites reflection on past wars and honors those who still live with the lasting scars of service, both physical and emotional.
