The Royal British Legion has backed the Daily Mirror’s campaign for a doorstep two-minute silence, giving people a new way to honour our fallen heroes

Remembrance Sunday will look very different this year, as social distancing means many parades and memorials have been called off.

While the annual service at the Cenotaph will go ahead, it will be closed to members of the public for the first time in its 100 year history.

Politicians, representatives for the Armed Forces, members of the Royal Family, and other dignitaries will still be able to attend.

But there is still a way for the general public to honour our fallen heroes this Remembrance Sunday.

The Daily Mirror is campaigning for a doorstep two-minute silence that will pay tribute to veterans, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

How will it work?

At 11am on Remembrance Sunday (which is 8 November this year), Brits around the country are encouraged to stand on their doorstep for a two minute silence.

This will honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, while ensuring that everybody stays safe.

Just as the country came together to clap for carers during the coronavirus lockdown, it is hoped they will take to their doorsteps once more to ensure our fallen heroes are not forgotten.

How can I encourage others to join in?

You can spread the word by sharing the doorstep remembrance idea on social media.
