The wreath laying at the Cenotaph 2020

11 November 2020

The Cenotaph Ceremony at the Cenotaph was a small affair compared to usual years. In the short film below we show the events of 11 November 2020 in Whitehall. Despite the Coronavirus crisis, The Western Front Association continues in the act of remembrance. 

We hope that by November 2021 we'll be able to organise these events on the 'traditional' scale.
