Armistice Day 2026

The Lord-Lieutenant attended the Act of Remembrance event hosted at Surrey County Council’s HQ in Reigate this morning, leading the procession of dignitaries and guests. Veterans and serving personnel joined representatives from the Emergency Services, Royal British Legion, Trade Unions and staff from the council in a two minute silence before wreaths were laid.

Colonel (Retired) Patrick Crowley MBE DL gave a speech at the event, before the National Anthem was sung, led by Elmbridge Choir and Reigate Grammar School’s String Quartet. Two of the Lord-Lieutenant’s Cadets were also in attendance.

Elsewhere in the county, Deputy Lieutenants were in attendance at numerous other Armistice services, paying tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in serving our nation. A selection of photos are below.
