The city’s annual act of remembrance takes place at the War Memorial on Victoria Gardens, The Headrow, on Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2026, led by the Lord Mayor of Leeds.
Following the city’s established pattern: veterans, service personnel and organisations form up on Rossington Street and march to the memorial at 10.30am; the civic procession leaves Leeds Civic Hall at 10.50am; the Last Post sounds before the two-minute silence at 11am, and wreaths are laid. Big screens relay the service across Victoria Gardens, and afterwards civic representatives move to Millennium Square for the salute and march past.
Arrangements: Leeds City Council
