- Cenotaph Commemorations 2020
Sadly, the annual commemoration at the Cenotaph in Whitehall has been seriously curtailed this year, but in conjunction with the Ministry of Defence and with permission from the DCMS, a very small group of individuals have been allowed to attend the Cenotaph to ensure the continuation of the WFA's annual remembrance (under strict social distancing rules).
We are grateful to the DCMS for granting permission for these wreaths to be laid.
Here are some images from our commemorations on the 102nd anniversary of the Armistice.
