After Remembrance Day services were cancelled last year, memorial events will resume across Oxfordshire this year.
Services are being planned across the county on Sunday, November 14 to commemorate the contribution of the Armed Forces and their families from Britain and the Commonwealth.
The day commemorates and remembers those who fought in the first and second World Wars as well as later conflicts and people across the country traditionally wear a poppy.
The Queen usually leads services on Remembrance weekend at the Cenotaph in London, but this year has been advised to take on only desk-based duties for the next two weeks.
In a statement given last Friday, the palace said: “Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday November 13.
“However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on November 14.”
These are the Remembrance Day events taking place in Oxfordshire in 2021.
