The Royal British Legion is recognised as the national custodian of Remembrance.

Remembrance Sunday, the second Sunday in November, is the day traditionally put aside to remember all those who have given their lives for the peace and freedom we enjoy today.

In Southampton, Armistice day is remembered on 11th November at the Cenotaph in Watts Park, when veterans, cadets and military personnel march from Guildhall Square to the Cenotaph to be joined by esteemed guests from the Council and from around the city, where a two-minutes silence is observed at 11.00am followed by a service of remembrance and wreath laying.

All are welcome to join us.
