🌺Memorial Gates Ceremony : Honoring the Commonwealth Soldiers

Charity Events - Fund Raising

Each year, the commemoration ceremony pays tribute to their courage and valor, ensuring that their memory lives on in the hearts of all who gather. It is a moment to reflect on the history that binds us together, transcending borders and differences for a common cause.

​Every year, we meet on the 2nd Monday of March at the Memorial Gates in Constitution Hill, London, to honour the brave Commonwealth soldiers who served in the Armed Forces during World War I and World War II. These gates stand as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by men and women from across the Commonwealth, united in their dedication to freedom and peace. Let us come together once more, in spirit if not in person, to pay homage to these heroes. Join us in remembering their legacy, their bravery, and their unwavering commitment to peace. We invite you to view our gallery of past ceremonies and mark your calendars for this year's solemn occasion.

As we prepare for this year's ceremony, take a glimpse into the solemn beauty of past events through our gallery of pictures. These snapshots capture the reverence and gratitude shown by attendees, as we stand together to honor those who gave their all for a better future.​
