Remembrance Day 2025 in London

Honouring Our Heroes Through Reflection and Service

Domingo del Recuerdo is one of the most significant dates in the British calendar. It is a time to honour the courage and sacrifice of those who have served in the Armed Forces from the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

Este día no es para glorificar la guerra; es para la reflexión, la gratitud y la esperanza. La amapola roja es un símbolo de recuerdo y compromiso con la paz. Llevar una amapola es una elección personal, pero cada una que se lleva representa el agradecimiento a quienes lo dieron todo al servicio de la libertad.

Campo del Recuerdo en la Abadía de Westminster

On 6 November, the Army Cadets joined veterans and families at Westminster Abbey for the Field of Remembrance.

For nearly a century, thousands of poppies have blanketed the Abbey’s grounds in a touching tribute to those who have fallen.

What began in 1928 with a few poppies around a single cross has grown into a powerful national symbol of remembrance. The Cadets assisted in laying tributes, supporting visitors, and paying their respects alongside the wider Armed Forces community.

Festival del Recuerdo en el Royal Albert Hall

Cadets and Adult Volunteers from HQ 160 X proudly supported the Royal British Legion at the Festival de Recuerdo, held in the iconic Royal Albert Hall.

This moving event brought the nation together through music, reflection, and unity. Cadets helped welcome guests, assisted with fundraising, and represented their peers across the UK.

This year, Cadet Company Sergeant Major Jones from Clwyd and Gwynedd Army Cadets and Flight Sergeant Davis from St Brigid’s School CCF had the honour of serving as national banner bearers for the Army Cadet Force (ACF) and Combined Cadet Force (CCF) respectively.

On Remembrance Sunday, the Cadets once again donned their uniforms to take part in the solemn Cenotaph Parade on Whitehall.

Alongside veterans, service personnel, and officials, the Cadets honoured those who made the ultimate sacrifice from the First World War to today’s operations. This year, Cadetes del Ejército de Clwyd y Gwynedd, St Brigid’s School CCF, Myddelton College CCF, y Rydal Penrhos CCF proudly marched past the Cenotaph, laid a wreath, and joined over 7,000 participants in a national moment of remembrance.

Cpl Underhill from Clwyd & Gwynedd Army Cadets, commented “I feel honoured to be able to take part in this year’s National Remembrance Service as it’s such a privilege to be in the parade to help honour those in the past and present who have served our country.”

Through these acts of service, reflection, and remembrance, the Army Cadets continue to embody the values of respect, unity, and dedication — ensuring that the sacrifices of the past are never forgotten.
