This moving concert remembers those who have given their lives for their country, and pays tribute to the service personnel who put their lives at risk for our liberty today. All profits from this concert go to ABF The Soldiers’ Charity, the national charity of the British Army, to help their work in support of soldiers, veterans, and their families.
The theme of this year’s Festival of Remembrance will be the Falklands War, as we commemorate those who gave so much in the liberation of the Falkland Islands 40 years ago. With an emotional mix of music and spoken word, the Festival of Remembrance culminates with the poignant Muster and Act of Remembrance, with thousands of poppies falling silently from the cathedral’s central tower.
Featuring the Band of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, the Band and Bugles Durham Army Cadet Force, 102 Battalion REME Pipe Band, award-winning social enterprise group Enter CIC, and acclaimed northern soprano Charlotte Potter.
Seating is not reserved, and some seats may have a restricted view, so please arrive early if you wish to be seated in a particular section of the cathedral.
