Robert Jenrick – 2020 Comments on Public at Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday

The comments made by Robert Jenrick, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, on 15 October 2020.

We will not let these difficult times stop us from properly commemorating the sacrifices of those who protected this country in our darkest hour, and those who are serving in our Armed Forces today.

That’s why we have published advice for councils, so that local Remembrance Day events can take place safely and communities are able to honour our brave service men and women. We are safer because of the sacrifices they have made and the battles they have fought.
