This year the annual Royal British Legion Service of Remembrance will be held at the Cenotaph on Whitehall on Sunday, 8th November.
Application for tickets is via Regimental Associations. The Royal British Legion has nominated our Association Office as the registration point for our Association members, and ex Rifles, Light Infantry, and KOYLI veterans from our area to apply for tickets to participate in the parade.
ELIGIBILITY
Associations should prioritise individuals who are directly affected by service with the Armed Forces in their contingent.
Military and Civilian men and women from the UK and the Commonwealth that served the Crown on Military Operations.
Wives, husbands, or civil partners of those who died as a result of their service in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces or during a time of war.
