Is the Sunday nearest to 11th November always the second Sunday in November (as noted in the linked Remembrance Day article)? If so, it would be a good idea to specify this here too. Madda 23:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, I think this is a mathematical certainty.. I think... If the 1st was a Sunday then the next would be the 8th and 15th so the 11th would be the Wednesday and the nearest Sunday would be the second of the month. Likewise, if the first Sunday was the 6th then the following wold be the 13th and so would be taken as Remembrance Sunday... Whichever way you cut it, the 2nd Sunday is always the closest. I hope that makes sense even if it is a year late........... ktn7981 Ktn7981 23:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
The march used at the Cenotaph isn't the one from the Eroica Symphony; it's #13 in his Werke ohne Opuszahl, and (despite being traditionally credited to Beethoven) was actually written by Johann Walch. I'm therefore killing the link to the article on the Eroica Symphony. 82.36.26.70 ( talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Since this is no longer on the main page, further discussion should be conducted here. By my calculation, in 2009 Remembrance Sunday is on Armistice Day itself, so it probably won't get a separate entry in Selected Anniversaries till 2010. But in any case, it would be nice to have some details and citations, on the article page itself, for the extent of observance outside the UK; from which Selected Anniversaries will be able to draw an accurate summary. jnestorius( talk) 01:45, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Very minor thing here, but traditionally you list the forces in order of seniority (age), ie. Navy, Army, Air Force. Would it be worth changing the sentence listing the cadet organisations to meet this standard? 94.195.5.216 ( talk) 01:02, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
I Vow To Thee My Country is an extremely popular one in services on RS. I can't remember being to a service when they haven't played it. Worth adding? 94.195.5.216 ( talk) 01:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
What is the name of the march usually played right after Trumpet Voluntary during the parade? -- Hapsala ( talk) 01:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
'Outside the United Kingdom Outside the United Kingdom, Anglican and Church of Scotland churches often have a commemorative service on Remembrance Sunday. In the Republic of Ireland there is an ecumenical service in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, the Church of Ireland's "National Cathedral". Since 1993, the President of Ireland has attended this service.[10] The state has its own National Day of Commemoration (held in July) for all Irish men and women who have died in war.'
What does this mean, outside the United Kingdom, ANGLICAN and CHURCH OF SCOTLAND, and THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND? Anglican, means English and Scotland and Northern Ireland are both in the UK. Why are they mentioned??? Sweetie candykim ( talk) 23:02, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
At present, the National ceremony in the United Kingdom section is rather misleading. "The event consists mainly of an extensive march past, with army bands playing live music". Actually it falls into several distinct parts:
After this, the Royal Family and other dignitaries leave Whitehall
You can watch the whole thing on YouTube.
Contrary to our article, any ceremonies at the Monument to the Women of World War II are not part of the National Service.
However, I'm really struggling to find references for any of this. Can anyone help? Alansplodge ( talk) 21:26, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a section which explains the poems that are usually recited on Remembrance Sunday e.g. Ode of Remembrance and The Soldier? ( Garageland66 ( talk) 16:04, 2 November 2015 (UTC))
I recall hearing somewhere that Remembrance Sunday was a Second World War Invention, since prior to then ceremonies were held on 11 November which was a bank holiday. This was abolished as WWII measure, with the ceremonials moved to the Sunday, where they have stuck since. Can't remember the source for this, and memory is sketchy admittedly fallible but perhaps this may trigger something in someone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.85.175.48 ( talk) 23:44, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
