Each year the United Kingdom remembers all those who have given their lives in the service of their country at a ceremony on or close to 11 November, the anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War. In Estonia this ceremony takes place in Tallinn’s Military Cemetery at the graveside of some of the British seamen who lost their lives during action by the Royal Navy in 1918 to 1919 in support of Estonian independence.

We would like to invite you to join us at our Remembrance Day Ceremony at Tallinn’s Military Cemetery, Filtri tee 14 on Monday 11 November. The Ceremony will begin at 10.45 so arrival no later than 10.35 would be helpful. The Ambassador will be laying a wreath as will representatives of the Estonian Defence Forces. If you would like to do so as well, we would welcome that. After the Ceremony hot drinks and soup will be offered.

The poppies and the donation boxes are available during working hours from the British Embassy Tallinn, Wismari 6 Tallinn 10136. Outside working hours the poppies can be obtained from Mad Murphy’s Pub, Mündi 2, 10146,Tallinn. You will also be able to get your poppy at the Ceremony itself.
