What time is Remembrance Sunday: The Cenotaph on TV?
The BBC’s coverage is set to begin at 10.15am today (November 7) and will continue through to 12.40pm. Expect news outlets such as Sky News to also carry coverage.
Sophie Raworth and Petroc Trelawny will present live coverage from London as Members of the Royal Family leads the nation in the Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph.
Senior Members of The Royal Family will be joined by leading UK politicians, alongside representatives of the armed forces, Commonwealth nations, and faith communities, for the two-minute silence at 11am and the National Service of Remembrance.
The proceedings continue with the wreath-laying ceremony, as the nation honours all those who have died in service, followed by the historic march past of nearly 10,000 veterans, organised by The Royal British Legion.
Across the country, veterans and their families will reflect on the personal significance of Remembrance, sharing remarkable stories of courage, sacrifice, and resilience, reminding us all why we pause to remember.
David Dimbleby, who previously provided commentary for the Remembrance Sunday commemorations, said: “After over quarter of a century as the commentator on Remembrance Sunday I have decided that the time has come to step down. It has been an honour and a privilege to be part of this annual ceremony commemorating our veterans and their sacrifice.”
Accessible commentary and uninterrupted commentary-free coverage will be available on BBC iPlayer. A version with British Sign Language will also be available on Red Button and iPlayer. There will also be coverage of the events on Radio 4 and 5 Live.
