Armistice Day at the National Memorial Arboretum

This year the National Memorial Arboretum will broadcast their annual Armistice Day Service of Remembrance, live from the Armed Forces Memorial. 

The service commemorates the signing of the Armistice which brought an end to the First World War and remembers all those who gave their lives in service to their country since 1914.

in 2024, I volunteered at Remembrance Day around Horse Guards Parade. See pictures here

I celebrated the day by volunteering to serve the army veterans with Royal Parks Police. They provided policing of the event with many national security agencies involved. These included the SAS.

I was extremely grateful to get the opportunity to help such distinguished service personnel for this solemn occasion.

I was stationed near the War Memorial in St. James’s Park. It is next to Horse Guards Parade. The ceremonial procession of soldiers and ex-service men and women starts and ends there each year.

After the main ceremony in Whitehall, the celebrants return to horse guard’s parade for a debrief celebration. British Army bands join them. The bands play around the War Memorial until all have returned.
