Remembrance Sunday: Channel Islands remember the fallen

15 November 2021

People across the Channel Islands marked Remembrance Sunday with a two-minute silence to honour those who have lost their lives in conflicts.

Crowds gathered at memorials across the islands for the services - the first since the coronavirus pandemic.

Guernsey's Chief Minister, Peter Ferbrache, attended the national service in London to lay a wreath on behalf of Guernsey, Alderney and Sark.

Before 2019, one wreath was laid on behalf of all the Channel Islands.
