Seychelles Represented at the National Service of Remembrance in London

The annual ceremony, held in the presence of members of the British Royal Family, political leaders, veterans, serving military personnel, representatives of faith communities and Commonwealth High Commissioners, honoured the men and women who lost their lives in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts.

The service included a two-minute silence in remembrance of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, followed by the laying of wreaths at the Cenotaph and a march-past by veterans.

Seychelles was honoured to join representatives from across the Commonwealth and the international community in marking this important occasion, reaffirming the country's commitment to remembrance, peace and the shared values of the Commonwealth.

Remembrance Sunday is observed annually on the second Sunday in November, closest to Armistice Day on 11 November. It commemorates the military and civilian personnel from Britain and the Commonwealth who lost their lives in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts.
