Join with colleagues to remember and reflect

Colleagues are invited to join our Armed Forces Network at the National Memorial Arboretum this Remembrance Day as they come together to connect, reflect and honour those who served.

Attendees will gather at 10.30am in Heroes Square, ahead of the two-minute silence at 11am, with the opportunity to watch the national service on the large screen.

Melanie Dyke, Chair of the DCHS Armed Forces Network, said: "Remembrance is an important time for us all to reflect on the service and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community. This event is a chance for colleagues to come together, share in that reflection, and show support for our staff and veterans.

"We welcome all colleagues, whether you have a personal connection to the Armed Forces or simply wish to pay your respects. It’s an opportunity to connect and strengthen our network as a community."
