The Bastion Memorial Service of Dedication
The service of Dedication will be held on 11 June at the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire.
Up to seven members of each family of the Fallen can attend the service, joining current personnel and veterans, in remembrance.
On the day the Bastion Memorial will be dedicated and there will be a one-minute silence to remember and pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The Royal British Legion will host a reception for bereaved family and friends after the Service.
After 11 June, the public can visit the Bastion Memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum, the UK’s year round centre of Remembrance. The Arboretum, part of The Royal British Legion, is also home to the Armed Forces Memorial, the UK’s tribute to all servicemen and women killed on duty or by acts of terrorism since 1948.
