Routes of Remembrance 

Keeping Remembrance Moving...

Routes of Remembrance honours the fallen of all conflicts and those who have fallen as a result of injuries, both physical and mental, who have fallen long after the guns have stopped.

In collaboration with many organisations, groups and military units, Routes of Remembrance connects communities across the globe to carry wreaths and tributes on poignant journeys, travelling by rail, road, sea and air, as part of the our plans to honour and remember those who have given their lives in service.
 

Wreaths have completed poignant tours around the UK and beyond including the entire Tour of Britain Cycle Race route from Penzance to Aberdeen, Orkney, Shetland, Northern Ireland, Normandy, The Somme, Cyprus, Jersey and even The Falklands Islands.

Following the huge success and poignancy of our 'Poppies To Paddington' event last year, we expanded our unique act of remembrance to create Routes of Remembrance which covered the whole of the UK and beyond, enabling communities, Veterans, military units and many other organisations and groups to be a part of a very special tribute to our fallen.

Tributes completed poignant tours including England, Wales, Scotland and the Scottish Isles, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Jersey and even The Falklands; one wreath covered more than 3000kms travelling from Penzance to Aberdeen, Orkney, Shetland, Caithness, Wick, Inverness, Belfast, Isle of Man, Windsor and to several sites in London, finishing at HMS Belfast and the Tower of London.

​

On 11th November, hundreds of wreaths and tributes journeyed from locations all over the UK to key destinations in time for Remembrance Services to honour the fallen.

Crew of Callsign Tiger 64 from 814 Sqn at RNAS Culdrose gave incredible support to our Routes of Remembrance events by touring a wreath from Culdrose to the Scilly Isles and then over to Land's End where they were welcomed by a crowd which included several Veterans.
