Public viewing areas

If you would like to watch the Cenotaph Parade, there will be viewing areas, including accessible areas, available for spectators. Further information will be available on the website of the Department of Digital, Culture, Media & Sport in due course:
Department for Culture, Media and Sport - GOV.UK
Please note there are no public viewing areas on Horse Guards Parade.

FAQs
What is the dress code?
Smart civilian clothing should be worn, and full size medals, decorations or ribbons if appropriate. Please consider the weather conditions and time of year and dress accordingly. Service uniform is not permitted. The Cenotaph March Past is a veterans march past and those participating are not to wear uniform irrespective of service status. (Medals and berets may be worn in keeping with policy and tradition).
Can I wear medals?
Yes, if you are wearing your own medals these should be worn on the left-hand side of your chest. If you are wearing a relatives' medals, these should be worn on the right-hand side.
Can I turn up on the day without prior registration?
It is a police requirement that all participants marching in the Cenotaph Parade have registered and completed security accreditation via the Royal British Legion in advance. The registration window for this year's Cenotaph Parade closed on 22nd August. Any individuals who arrive on the day who have not registered and completed their security accreditation will not be able to participate or enter the grounds.

Can I apply to march as a new association?
Yes - we will be reviewing new association requests in the coming months, the findings of which will be communicated in early 2025. If you would like to march in the 2025 Cenotaph Parade as a new association, please contact us at [email protected]
Can my association lay a wreath at the Cenotaph?
Yes - as you pass the Cenotaph Parade during the March Past there will be 'Wreath Takers' who you can pass your wreath to, and wreath layers who will lay it on your behalf of your association. As the parade needs to keep moving, individual and associations do not physically lay their respective wreaths.

You can purchase association badge wreaths through our Supporter Care team. You can find further information on our website here: Poppy Wreaths | Poppy Merchandise | Royal British Legion
Can I march in memory of my grandparent?
The eligibility criteria were reviewed following the 2023 Cenotaph Parad to only include first generation relatives. The Cenotaph Parade is a veteran's march past, and it has a limited capacity of 10,000 places, so the eligibility criteria are used to maintain a fair allocation and wide representation of veterans. Unfortunately, including grandchildren in the eligibility criteria would hugely increase the number of registrations, which would result in a lower number of veterans being able to take part.
Can my carer march with me?
Yes, carers can accompany those needing assistance but please be reminded that all carers must be included in your association's allocation of tickets and are not an additional headcount. Where possible and practical to do so, it would be advisable to have a fellow veteran assisting. Associations oversee ticket allocation, so we would advise you to contact your association point of contact to inquire.
Can serving personnel march?
No, serving personnel are not eligible to march in the Cenotaph Parade if they do not meet the eligibility criteria. Every year we endeavour to ensure that the march past remains a veteran march past and we have consulted with our colleagues at the Ministry of Defence. The serving community is represented by the formed contingent at the Cenotaph under the command of GOC LONDIST.

UK Disability History Month November 2025

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
16th November to 16th December 2023
Disability, Children and Youth

The launch can also be streamed on Youtube here.

This Autumn 2023 UKDHM focusses on the Experience of Disablement amongst children and young people in the past, now and what is needed for the future. UKDHM comes from a Social Model/Human Rights approach, so that all children and young people with long term impairment will not experience the social exclusion of stigma, stereotypes, negative attitudes and socially created barriers in the environment and the way things are organised.

UKDHM 2023 provides an opportunity for all councils, service providers, education establishments, youth, play and sports organisations, health providers and employers to examine their approaches to disabled children and youth. Those in the media, publishing and image making can challenge the way they have portrayed disabled people in the past and create inclusive and non-stereotypical ways forward, in conjunction with disabled young people.

From a history of neglect, harsh punishment, segregation, bullying and ignorance we must learn to challenge our prejudices and discriminatory practices. The way disabled children and young people have been and are treated is an indicator of how inclusive and rights respecting we are as a community and society.

Impairment is a natural part of human existence, but societal responses have varied across cultures and time. Disabled people including children have often been falsely blamed and scapegoated for society's ills. If one grows up on the receiving end of negativity, then one often internalises that negativity.

Most important in bringing about positive change is how we think about impairment and disablement.

Disabled people themselves over the last 60 years in the Disabled People's Movement have separated impairment (our difference of physical, psycho-social or mental function) from the social response to it. Disabled people reject ideas of 'normal' and require acceptance of us as we are. We require the barriers that prevent us participating whether of attitude, organisation or environment, to be dismantled. We as disabled people become accepted and society becomes more inclusive and equal.

This sounds easy but making the change happen is blocked by many forces who pay lip-service to equality, while shoring up the current rotten system.

UKDHM gives us a chance to understand this and make real changes.

An important time to celebrate and learn, Women's History Month offers a peek into the past, in order to remember the plight of women so that everyone in society can keep moving forward.

This month, it's time to enjoy and appreciate the women in history who have worked so hard to try to assure that modern women are treated fairly and with equal access and privileges. Get ready to celebrate Women's History Month!

History of Women's History Month

The large majority of ancient cultures were patriarchal and they often practiced customs that tended to hold women in low esteem and limited their freedom. Through the centuries, many courageous women have stepped forward to fight inequality and to champion these causes for the benefit of society and the women of the future. Their work to break down barriers and walls has allowed future generations of women to pass through with less resistance. Women's History Month honors these women.

While not yet official all over the world, some of the earliest traces of this movement toward equality for women began in the early 1900s when unrest and debate was occurring over the inequality and oppression of women. Originally, many of the gatherings and celebrations for women occurred in February, but they later migrated to March, which is now considered Women's History Month.

Even after women earned the right to vote in many Western countries in the early 1900s, women were certainly still not experiencing equality. Following their work and dedication during World War II, many women were unsatisfied with the idea of going back to donning their aprons at home. They wanted more and many of them began to say so.

The women's movement of the 1960s put an even greater spotlight on women's issues and made it clear that historical contributions by women had been completely discounted. As historian and activist Gerda Lerner said in 1986, "When I started working on women's history about thirty years ago, the field did not exist. People didn't think that women had a history worth knowing."

Lerner's pioneering work has been responsible for the introduction of Women's Studies programs into the university education system, and remarkable contributions by amazing women are now documented as part of history.

In 1975, the United Nations officially recognized International Women's Day. Women's History Week is a progression of that and Women's History Month is an even further extension. Throughout the month, various community events, internet blog series, television presentations and entertainment specials will be staged to look back on women's achievements, to celebrate the progress made by women around the world, and to remember that there is still work to be done.

How to Celebrate Women's History Month

Some suggestions for individual celebrations of Women's History Month include:

Learn About Women's History Through Books

Women's History Month is a great time to learn about different women of the past who have fought hard for the changes that modern people now enjoy. Read a biography about a female pioneer. Perhaps choose Amelia Earhart, one of the first ladies of aviation, paving the way for women in the flight industry, or about women's movement origins and suffragettes like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.

Or, pick up one of these important books about women:

Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World' by Rachel Ignotofsky. Featuring notable women in the STEM field (where women are less often noted or appreciated) from ancient to modern times.

My Own Words by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. This autobiography reveals the story behind the pursuit of women's rights as well as being only the second woman ever to be appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly. Based on the account of three African American women who were NASA mathematicians in the 1960s, this book has been made into a major film.

Get Involved with Women's Education and Rights

Been meaning to get involved for a while now? Women's history month is the perfect time to start volunteering at a local organization that supports women in a multitude of ways. Whether through the Helen Keller Foundation for medical care or the National Women's Law Center that focuses on women's rights, now is the time to get involved.

For those who aren't ready to volunteer this would be a good time to make a donation to an organization for women's education, one that offers microbusiness loans to help women or some other organization that promotes the equality of women.

Watch Films About Women's History

Want to share this passion with the future women and men of America? Here are some movies that would be great to watch with girls and boys of older ages, empowering them to care for and support the cause:

Anne Frank Remembered(1995). This documentary film uses interviews and updated information to fill in the important story of Anne Frank, whose Jewish family went into hiding in an attic for more than two years during World War II.

Amelia(2009). This dramatized version reveals bits and pieces of the life of Amelia Earhart, the first female pilot to fly solo across the Atlantic, who mysteriously disappeared in an attempt to fly around the world. This film stars Hilary Swank, Richard Gere and Ewan McGregor.

Girl Rising (2013). Another documentary, this one reveals the plight of young girls in impoverished places who are trying to rise above their circumstances, particularly in places where a priority is not placed on the education of girls.

Radium Girls (2018). Based on the true story of a group of factory women in the 1920s who fought back against huge radium companies and unsafe working conditions that caused them to get radiation poisoning and would eventually lead to their deaths.

One of the most important things about Women's History Month is the collaboration that can be found when people work together for a cause, as seen in the women's suffrage movements. Take this month to share thoughts and discussions with others about how everyone can support the cause.

Get a book club together to read one of the books above, or post a link about a most-admired woman in history on various social media outlets. Whatever way it is celebrated, Women's History Month is the perfect reminder to get active in the plight of women all over the world.

Deaf Awareness Week =- 4th - 10th May 2026.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Approximately 11 million people in the UK are deaf or have hearing loss. Deafness and hearing loss can have a range of challenging implications, especially when it comes to communication. And communicating with others makes up much of what we do as individuals.

Overcoming these obstacles can involve hearing therapy, lipreading classes and learning sign language. Hearing loss can also sometimes lead to withdrawal from social situations, emotional distress or loneliness.

These challenges are no small feat - so we must all do our bit to support those who need it and learn more about how deafness can impact life. To celebrate Deaf Awareness Week this week, we're shining a light on how you can support the deaf community.

What is Deaf Awareness Week?
Deaf Awareness Week 2024 will take place from the 6th to the 12th of May.
The UK Council on Deafness created Deaf Awareness Week to increase the visibility of challenges the deaf community face and educate others on how they can support them.

Being deaf brings unique challenges that not everyone will experience. Part of these challenges can be to do with mental health and exclusion from others. That's why it's up to everyone to come together to create a more inclusive society that values every individual.

How to support deaf peers
Educate yourself
Many people remain unaware of what life is like for a deaf person and the struggles they face. Familiarise yourself with educational materials and the different types and causes of deafness. Find out what adjustments you can make to reduce stress and improve wellbeing. They might be small shifts - but they can make a big difference to the deaf community.

Tips for speaking to someone who is deaf

There are several things you can do to improve communication with deaf people. Try the tips below:

Don't say it doesn't matter

Speak one at a time

Don't speak too slowly or quickly

Smile and relax

Keep your mouth on show

Speak clearly without shouting

Face towards the person while you're speaking

Repeat if you need to do so

Ask what helps

No two people are the same. Many deaf students have different communication approaches, and some may use combined methods like hearing aids and lipreading. Don't let worries about saying the wrong thing or approaching the topic stop you from having the conversation altogether. Instead, simply ask how they communicate and what you can do to help. This way you're respecting their needs and finding out what works.

An open conversation

It's important to let your deaf peers know that support is available should they need it - and whenever possible check in with them yourself. When communicating with a deaf person, it is important to maintain eye contact, use clear and concise language, and avoid speaking too quickly. It is also helpful to be patient and willing to repeat or rephrase information as needed. By having an open conversation and being mindful of the person's communication preferences, you can help create a positive and supportive learning environment where all students can thrive.

HA | Wisdom Wellbeing can help you support deaf students

Our Student Assistance Programme provides 24/7, 365 emotional support. Students can access counselling to assist through any difficulties they might face as a result of their condition. We can also provide guidance on how to deal with any issues you may be facing. Get in touch with us today to learn more.
