To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what plans the Government has to commemorate the centenary of Armistice Day in November 2018.
John Glen
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport
The Centenary of Armistice Day, which in 2018 falls on Remembrance Sunday, will be referenced within the traditional Cenotaph service. In addition there will also be an expanded march-past the Cenotaph after the service, followed by a national service of commemoration and thanksgiving in the evening in Westminster Abbey.
There will also be a national concert to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War in Birmingham, supported by the Department for Communities and Local Government.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
