There will be four main events in London for Blind Veterans UK Member over Remembrance Weekend, the main one of which is the Remembrance Parade.
You are welcome to register your interest in as many of the events as you wish. As we have been allocated limited places for the Remembrance Parade and the Festival of Remembrance, names will be chosen for those via a random ballot.
Members are welcome to bring a companion or carer for all or some of these weekend activities.
