Remembrance Sunday is a national day of memorial to remember and honour servicemen and women who lost their lives in the First World War. The first Armistice Day was observed on November 11, 1919, to mark the first anniversary of the end of the First World War, and Remembrance Sunday is commemorated on the nearest Sunday. A National Service of Remembrance, which is attended by members of the Royal Family, the Government, and representatives from the armed forces, is held at 11 am, at The Cenotaph, in Whitehall. A similar service will be held at the parish War Memorial outside St Mary’s church at 11am. A bugler will signal the start of the silence by playing The Last Post and The Rouse. For those wishing to see the Remembrance Sunday Parade in Bulwell, it will leave Oakleigh Lodge, Highbury Road, 10.30am on Sunday 12th November to make its way to the War Memorial outside St Mary's Church, ready for the Service of Remembrance at 11am. The Parade will return to Oakleigh Lodge following the Service of Remembrance.
