Brussels Town Cemetery, Belgium – Remembrance service
The annual Act of Remembrance is an Allied commemoration held by the Royal British Legion Brussels branch at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery in Evere. The ceremony at the Brussels Town Cemetery serves as a joint tribute gathering military personnel, veterans, diplomatic representatives and others. It also features musical tributes from the Belgium Military Wives Choir.
Colonel Nick Thom, the new UK Attaché to Belgium and Luxembourg, whose French-Belgian grandfather served in the Belgian Army in WW2, gave a reflection at the service. The 101-year-old Second World War veteran Count Henri d'Oultremont, who lives in Brussels, also took part in the ceremony.
