105 years ago, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. The Jewish contribution can be found in every story on the road to the allied victory. Which is why this time of year is so special and sacred for our community within our nation. We will always Remember.
It’s not too late to join us this afternoon, 2pm at The Cenotaph, for the AJEX National Jewish Remembrance Parade. Line the streets of Whitehall and say thank you to the British Jewish heroes of our community! Please Share

During Covid-19, we're committed as ever to remembering the sacrifice & dedication of our ex-Servicemen and Women. Sadly, the AJEX Annual Parade can't go ahead in the usual way. We'll be holding the Remembrance Ceremony as a virtual event - 2.30 pm on 15/11/20. Save the date.
Across the UK members of AJEX are attending Remembrance services. We remember the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict

Here's an advance picture of the AJEX plot at the Field of Remembrance ahead of the opening ceremony tomorrow. Thank you to all the people who have given us names for the poppy markers. It is a very special sight to see. We will Remember.
Don’t take off your poppy just yet. In the 1930’s AJEX was granted permission by the Crown to hold its own Remembrance Parade on Whitehall at the Cenotaph, to help combat antisemitism. So keep the Poppy on till our Parade on the 21st.
