Each year HM Lord-Lieutenant of Bedfordshire Helen Nellis and her team of Deputy Lieutenants visit towns and villages in Bedfordshire on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day to pay their respects to members of the Armed Forces who have died or been injured in the line of duty.

The Lord-Lieutenant and Deputy Lieutenants are joined by members of the clergy, civic leaders, veterans, servicemen, cadets and members of the public where they lay a wreath on behalf of HM The Queen. The service is ended with a two-minute silence at 11am.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the services this year are on a much smaller basis with limited attendance and no military parades.

In order for everyone to be able to take part in the safety of their own home, the Lord-Lieutenant and her team have produced an online service which can be viewed on YouTube.
