Built from Portland stone (the original was a temporary structure formed of wood and plaster), it was in place to be unveiled by King George V on Armistice Day 1920. For those who cannot attend the Cenotaph to pay their respects, or make it to a remembrance service closer to home, the National Service of Remembrance has been broadcast from London nearly every year by the BBC since 1928.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow. Between the crosses, row on row. That mark our place; and in the sky. The larks, still bravely singing, fly.” – John McCree The original Cenotaph was erected in 1919 as a temporary memorial to represent the unprecedented losses suffered during the First World War.

People often pause for a two-minute silence at 11am on Remembrance Day and wear poppies, which grew on the battlefields after World War One ended. Photography is permitted, but the Metropolitan Police have powers to remove obstacles (such as camera tripods) where they obstruct public access or views.
