Her Majesty The Queen has approved that Sunday 10th November will be observed as Remembrance Sunday. This year, as last year, the Ceremony of Remembrance will be held at the British War Memorial on Line Wall Road, opposite City Hall, at noon.

The Ceremony is organised by Her Majesty’s Government of Gibraltar. His Excellency the Governor, in his capacity as Her Majesty The Queen’s representative in Gibraltar, will lead the service.

On his arrival, His Excellency will read the Bidding. This will be followed by the observance of the Two Minutes Silence, the beginning and end of which will be signalled by a saluting gun. The Last Post will be sounded, after which wreaths will be laid and an inter-denominational service will be held. The Ceremony will conclude with the sounding of Reveille and the singing of the National Anthem.

Medals and decorations may be worn with civilian dress by all those entitled to do so. Deceased Service personnel’s medals may be worn by relatives.

Persons or organisations, who have pre-ordered the official wreaths from Mr Solomon Levy MBE JP, may collect them from the Convent (rear), from Monday 4th November through Thursday 7th November from 10:00am until noon. On Friday 8th November, wreaths may be collected from No 3 Convent Place. The cost of the wreaths is £25.00. Cheques should be made payable to The Gibraltar Poppy Day Appeal Fund.
