For my contribution to the archive, I have several aspects that I want to pursue. The first is the carts used by street cleaners - the way in which they are personalised (or not, as in this case), how many compartments they have, the equipment on board etc. I think it will be interesting to see how they change over time. I suspect this separation of rubbish (into recyclable and not?) is a relatively recent initiative. It might also be interesting to compare them in different areas and different countries.

What was Pennsylvania's biggest contribution to the war effort? Men were. More than 350,000 Pennsylvania men served in the Union Army, 17% of the total Union Force, second only to New York. This included more than 8,600 African-Americans, also one of the highest totals of any northern state. This gallery explores some of their experiences once they entered the world of military service.

I. Introduction
Ethiopia was the only country in Africa to demarcate its boundary through bargaining with European colonizers in the early 20th century. This victory had a chance for Ethiopia to produce its political and economy policy by itself. In addition to this, there were golden chances in the country in different historical times: such as the period of before and after Italy invasion, 1960 coup, 1974 revolution, 1991 and 2018 political changes. But the country and its people are still in serious economic problems. Different regimes came and went. They promised and tried to do at least better than the previous regime. But the issues of economic development became an issue of consecutive generation not only today but also tomorrow. My question is now why the regimes failed to make economic development in the country. Why did the regimes fail to use that all chances? I doubt that political issues may be the reason. Politics may badly affect development in all regimes. So that, I need to assess `how much political issues influenced economic development agendas of Ethiopia. `
Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa. It is a landlocked country and shares borders with Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan and Sudan. With more than 112 million people (2019), Ethiopia is the second fastest growing country in Africa after Nigeria. But it is also very poor, earning $ 850 per capita. Ethiopia plans to reach low-middle income level by 2025.

My contributions to the super moon photos. I struggled to get anything earlier. If I got detail in the moon the foreground was way too dark and if I got foreground the moon was too bright. I had given up and then about 9 o'clock I looked out and saw the clouds around the moon. I think these images take a real celestial look. The faint cloud cover over the moon also helped tone down the brightness of the moon.

"The enclosed photographs are of the contributions we have received from individuals taking part in a visual project we are coordinating called “The Covid Collection”. We started conversations around how folk were experiencing Lockdown and life under Covid restrictions on the doorsteps of our contacts aged 70+ and via a weekly Newsletter called Uplift, on zoom, by telephone and email. The idea for the project was to involve as many people as possible in sharing their experiences, thoughts and feelings in a way they felt comfortable with. We suggested they may like to share positive and negative things. They could be as personal as they wished but they could just make a record of the events they witnessed. They show hobbies and what they were doing with their time. They could be things they will be glad to leave behind or things they are looking forward to being able to do in the future. Thy could record losses or blessings. The 50+ age group started the project off but you will see that it now includes all ages.
The project is ongoing and the contributions are arriving weekly. The “Covid Collection”will be presented at our community centre when permissible and safe at an open event to launch new activities. Other items created during this season will also be on display. The “Collection” will be displayed in a way to increase the visual impact for those viewing, a group of older people will be at the heart of the planning and organisation of this event."

Kick Butts Day 2014. Representatives from the Department of Public Health (DPH) today joined more than 250 young people from across the Commonwealth at the State House for the national observance of Kick Butts Day, recognizing the contributions of teenagers in smoking cessation and prevention efforts.
The young people participating in today’s event are part of DPH’s youth movement, The 84, which represents the 84 percent of young people in Massachusetts who don’t smoke.
High school students involved in The 84 have been educating their communities and their local lawmakers about issues relating to tobacco and, working with local health boards and other programs; have promoted effective tobacco prevention strategies in their communities. Members of The 84 Movement have been vital in fighting the way tobacco industry markets its products to youth.

This is my contribution to the OBJKT4OBKT2 free art swap (at the Hic et Nunc crypto art NFT market). Since I arrived late, I'll keep it priced free an extra day.

Description: Take a 3D plane and subdivide it to small squares. Apply animated noise to it on the Z axis. Take a gradient of maximum chroma and medium lightness colors, similar to a rainbow, and map it to the elevation view of the noisy plane. Then render the animation, and you get something like this. This could be compared to a geographic elevation map, but with color gradients between lines. It could also be compared to a representation of earth layer evolution.
You need a little bit of Tezos–a newfangled eco-friendly cryptocurrency–to cover the tiny transaction fee to collect free art as part of this art swap. You can get Tezos via the Guarda online wallet and other places, and I recommend the Kukai or Temple web wallets. (If you create your wallet in Guarda, export the private key and import it to the web wallets to access it.)

Jim Terry receiving the 1875 Award for his outstanding contribution to natural history in Hertfordshire. Making the presentation is Ken Smith, Chairman of the Hertfordshire Bird Group. There were two recipients of the award this year.
Ken has written a couple of books. I've sold them and own copies of both. I don't think Jim has written a book as yet. Plenty of time though ;-)
Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The King
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Prince of Wales took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918.

The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony.

After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell

Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The King
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song

David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson

Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson

Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson

God Save The King
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade.

Remembrance Sunday, 10 November 2024
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by King Charles III, principal members of the Royal Family, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, the Home Secretary, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. In 2024 wreaths were laid by military officers on behalf of Queen Camilla, who did not attend due to illness but normally watches from a balcony, and the Duke of Kent, who viewed the ceremony from a balcony. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
Other members of the Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2024 the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Vice Admiral Timothy Laurence watched from the balconies.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The King
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Prince of Wales took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
In 2024 the column of veterans was led by the Royal Marines Association marking the 360th anniversary of their formation in 1664.
