David Dimbleby will present live coverage from London as His Majesty The King leads the nation in the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph on Whitehall.

As it has for more than one hundred years, the two-minute silence at 11 o’clock will be followed by the service and wreath laying as the nation remembers all those from the UK, and across the Commonwealth, who have died serving their country.

His Majesty will be joined by senior members of the Royal Family and leading UK politicians, alongside representatives of the Armed Forces, Commonwealth nations, and faith communities for the morning’s commemorations. Nearly 10,000 veterans are expected to take part in the Royal British Legion March Past and Sophie Raworth will speak with some of those taking part as they share their remarkable stories of service. Veterans and their families from across the nation will reflect on film on the importance and meaning of Remembrance to them.

For the first time ever, the BBC will be providing audio described commentary for audiences who are blind or partially sighted through BBC iPlayer and the channel’s red button function.
