Tigrou Posted June 29, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I'll be on board QM2 on 11 November 2019. Does anyone know if there will be any official acknowledgement of Remembrance Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted June 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I've been on Queen Victoria on Remembrance Sunday and there was a service in the theatre. There won't necessarily be anything formal on the 11th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1953 Posted June 29, 2019 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) 11 November this year is a Monday, so there probably won't be any ship wide commemerations. If Sunday 10 November is a sea day, then there will be a interdenominational remembrance service in the theatre. We were on board QE last year and attended the 100th anniversary commemerations as Remembrance Sunday was a sea day. By 10:30 the theatre was absolutely full. Before the ceremonies and service began, the side aisles were full. I have never seen so many people in the theatre at any time before. It was a longer than usual service, very sensitively carried out and very moving. Edited June 29, 2019 by BigMac1953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted June 29, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2019 I was on QM2 last year for the 11th which was also a Sunday. We sailed from New York that day and the service was held at 7pm in the Theatre. I have also been on QE2 and they did a flag lowering at the stern at 11am.

navybankerteacher Posted June 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2019 And, I recall, red paper poppies were available at the customer service desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigrou Posted June 30, 2019 Author #6 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thank you everyone. If there isn't anything official then I'll just find a quiet spot on deck to observe the 2 minutes silence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
