Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day 2025
On the 9th and 11th of November, Westminster City Council will honor and remember the sacrifices made by veterans and active service members. These events form part of the city’s commemorations ahead of Remembrance Day.
Poppy Appeal Support
The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, joined volunteers from the Royal British Legion at Marylebone Station to support the 2025 Poppy Appeal. During the visit, he presented long service awards to recognize the volunteers’ enduring dedication and thanked them for their contribution to the appeal.
"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."
Commemorative Wreath-Laying
On Tuesday, wreaths will be laid outside Westminster City Hall and at memorials across the nation shortly before 11 a.m., marking the moment the guns fell silent. This act of remembrance honors those who served and those still living with the effects of war, both physical and emotional. It stands as a symbol of ongoing gratitude for their service and sacrifice.
