Due to the limited capacity on the Armed Forces Memorial, visitors wishing to watch the service on top of the Memorial will require a ticket. Tickets will be allocated on a first-some-first served basis, from Monday 2 September.
Visitors without tickets to watch the service on the memorial will be able to view and participate in the service from Heroes' Square, where the service will be shown on a large screen.
The Arboretum will be open from 9am to invited guests and members of the public.
We ask you take your seats for the Remembrance Service by 10.30am, the Service will commence at 10:50am and we expect the event to conclude by 11:30am.
Upon arrival, those successful in applying for tickets will be asked to present your ticket confirmation letter, either in a digital or printed format, and each ticket holder in your party should be able to produce photographic identification at the registration desk should this be requested.
This can include a passport, driving license, EU identity card, Armed Forces identity card or firearms certificate. Failure to present suitable photographic identification will result in the prevention of entry to the service area. Please note that random bag searches maybe carried out by the Police and only small handbags will be permitted to the service area.
The Armed Forces Memorial will be closed to the general public on 11 November until after the Armistice Day Service. Our team will ensure that any infrastructure used during the event is cleared as soon as possible following the service.
