Remembrance Sunday 9 Nov 2025

Remembrance Sunday

Every second Sunday of November, the United Kingdom presses pause. Shops may buzz, trains may run, but at 11 a.m., the nation falls silent. For two minutes, the usual noise of life is replaced by a collective stillness. This is Remembrance Sunday—a day less about "time off" and more about "time out" to reflect.
