Remembrance events

The Legion is proud to be recognised as a national champion of Remembrance.

Our Remembrance events are just one of the ways we can help to ensure the sacrifices of those who served are never forgotten.

As well as taking part in Legion events, we encourage everyone make Remembrance their own – however you choose to remember.

Festival of Remembrance

The Legion hosts the annual Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall to commemorate all those who have lost their lives in conflict.

More about this

In 2019, we helped our D-Day veterans to receive the tribute their courage deserves, and through our Tribute Ink exhibition we’re showing how everyone remembers in their own way.  

Find out new ways to get involved with Remembrance in 2020, because our work is ongoing.
