The London Eye Will Light Up for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day
The London Eye will once again illuminate in tribute to those who lost their lives in battle, shining in red and green to form the image of a poppy. The display will take place on Remembrance Sunday, November 9, and again on Armistice Day, November 11.
Visitors gazing across London’s skyline at nightfall will see the observation wheel glowing brightly, its pods lit in the vivid hues of the poppy design. With days growing shorter after the recent clock change, the sight promises to bring a comforting radiance to the city’s centre.
Honouring the Fallen
“Those who are present at the London Eye on both Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day will be invited to join the surrounding crowd in a two-minute silence to honour both occasions.”
This annual gesture continues the tradition of marking Remembrance Day by illuminating the capital’s skyline as an act of respect and remembrance.
