Representatives and other members of the public come forward to lay wreaths, light candles or offer other symbols of remembrance and hope, such as single flowers or crosses.
Wreaths of remembrance poppies are laid on the memorials, and two minutes' silence is held at 11 am. Church bells are usually rung half-muffled, creating a sombre effect. The overall ceremony, including parades, service and wreath-laying, typically lasts about two hours.
The Royal British Legion has an Order of Service called an Act of Remembrance for those who wish to organise a local Remembrance Service. There is a recommended procedure and some essential features that should remain as part of the act of Remembrance.
The Act of Remembrance ceremony may be held at a war memorial or in a church or chapel and usually includes hymns and prayers. However, there are only three elements that are essential to an Act of Remembrance – the exhortation, the silence and the laying of the wreaths.
Those in uniform could be involved with the Act of Remembrance (reading, laying the wreath etc.) and with the Mass (welcoming, reading, collection, offertory procession, extraordinary ministers of holy communion). Flags and banners could also be processed in and out at the beginning and end of Mass.
Every year, the Royal British Legion supports Remembrance events across the UK. We encourage local and regional communities to produce Remembrance commemorations of their own. At the core of these events is the Act of Remembrance.
