Ceremony of Remembrance from the Cenotaph

Paddy O'Connell leads live coverage from Whitehall of the solemn ceremony when the nation remembers the sacrifices made in the two world wars and in more recent conflicts.

Paddy O’Connell sets the scene in London's Whitehall for the solemn ceremony when the nation remembers the sacrifice made by so many in the two world wars and in other more recent conflicts.

The traditional music of remembrance is played by the massed bands. After the Two Minutes Silence and Last Post, wreaths are laid at the foot of the Cenotaph by members of the Royal Family, political leaders and representatives of Commonwealth countries, before a short Service of Remembrance.
