On the 9th and 11th of November, Westminster City Council will honour and reflect on the sacrifices made by veterans and service personnel.
Poppy Appeal Support
Leading up to Remembrance Day, The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, joined volunteers from the Royal British Legion at Marylebone Station to support the 2025 Poppy Appeal. He expressed his gratitude for their ongoing dedication by presenting volunteers with long service awards.
The Lord Mayor of Westminster, Cllr Paul Dimoldenberg, said: “As first citizen, it will be a huge privilege to represent the people of Westminster at Westminster Abbey on Sunday. In the lead up to Remembrance Day, I have attended a variety of events and was moved on each occasion by the feeling of everyone there. From veterans to young cadets, there is a shared sense of thanks and obligation to those who gave their lives in past conflicts and give us our freedoms.”

On Tuesday, wreaths will be laid outside Westminster City Hall and nationwide just before 11 a.m., marking the moment the guns fell silent.
This pause offers a moment to remember historic conflicts and the former service personnel who live with lasting physical and mental scars, serving as a powerful public tribute to their sacrifices.
