Local authority preparations for Remembrance Sunday

This note sets out how Remembrance Sunday activities can take place in line with current COVID-19 restrictions and requirements in England.

From 5 November, there are new national restrictions in England. Other information contained in this note is based on existing guidance, and has been brought together to aid those organising local activities for Remembrance Sunday.

Who can organise a Remembrance Sunday event?

Local authorities in England can organise outdoor Remembrance Sunday events at a public war memorial or cenotaph, if you complete a COVID-19 risk assessment and take all reasonable measures to limit the risk of transmission of the virus. Where necessary, you should engage with neighbouring businesses, transport operators and local transport authorities to assess any risks to the local area of increased visitors from other locations and apply additional mitigations if needed.
