Members of the Royal Family join former and current members of the services to remember the dead of the UK and Commonwealth on Remembrance Sunday, the Sunday before Armistice Day. Wreaths are laid at the Cenotaph at 11am and after a short service there is a march past by thousands who served and suffered in the conflict of war. The Cenotaph ceremony is organised annually by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, with the Royal British Legion coordinating the march past. Representatives of the Armed Forces, airforce and navy and fishing fleets all attend as well as members from the different faith communities. High Commissioners from Commonwealth countries also attend the ceremony and lay wreaths at the Cenotaph.
