The Royal British Legion is planning to hold the Ex-Service and Civilian Contingents attending the Parade and Service at the Cenotaph, Whitehall, on Remembrance Sunday, 8th November 2026.  

 

NARPO have applied The Royal British Legion to send a contingent of Forty Eight (48) members, to take part in this unique national event, in the heart of London.  

 

Due to heightened security measures the Metropolitan Police need to conduct individual security checks on all participants. Therefore, basic personal information will need to be provided in advance for each applicant.  

 

Ticket holders will need to bring both photographic ID and a document showing proof of address with them for access to Horse Guards Parade via the staffed Police entry points on the day.  

 

The Birmingham Branch  have the opportunity to send 5 members.  In the first instance could  any member wishing to attend this event please email the branch secretary ([email protected] ) or telephone 07388040632  by 23 July 2026.  A decision will be made by the Executive Committee as to who will represent the branch if we are over subscribed.  Once the list of persons is determined I will send out a copy of the NARPO circular which contains the instructions on the information required.
