Shine On: CWGC Live Special • Name a Star in Remembrance • Remembrance Sunday 2020

The events of 2020 will be long remembered as the Coronavirus pandemic has affected so much of our daily lives, and this weekend saw our first socially-distanced Remembrance Sunday.

Under normal circumstances, Armistice Day, the eleventh of the eleventh, is usually a time that we get together to bow our heads. We look down. We pay our respects to the men and women from across the Commonwealth who sacrificed their lives in the two world wars for our freedom.

But this year is different. This year, at 7pm (UK time), we’re asking you to look up to the skies to remember all 1.7 million of those who gave their lives.

From 6.30pm on 11 November 2020, we will be broadcasting live from our sites around Great Britain, looking to the stars to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the two world wars. Click on the button below at 6.30pm tomorrow to join us on our Facebook page to partake in this unique act of remembrance.
