The Cenotaph Remember the fallen at the Cenotaph
The Grade I Listed monument which stands in Whitehall was designed by Edwin Lutyns and built between 1919 and 1920 as the United Kingdom’s official national war memorial.
In addition to the original details of the First World War, those of the Second World War were added to the sides of the memorial and there was a second unveiling by King George VI on Sunday 10 November.
There’s an annual Service of Remembrance at the site on Remembrance Sunday, the closest Sunday to Armistice Day, 11 November, each year.
