The London Eye Lighting Up for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day
The London Eye will illuminate in red and green to resemble a poppy on Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day. Remembrance Sunday occurs on November 9 this year, followed by Armistice Day on November 11. Throughout this week, many of London’s landmarks will pay tribute to those who lost their lives in battle.
On both days, the pods of the London Eye will glow with red and green lights, creating a vivid poppy design visible across the city skyline at night. With shorter daylight hours after the clocks go back, this colorful display will offer a striking reminder in the heart of London, visible for miles.
Visitors present at the London Eye on these days will be invited to join a two-minute silence in honor of the occasions.
The London Eye "lights up each year to mark Remembrance Day in the capital."
Citywide Tributes
Beyond the London Eye, Transport for London (TfL) will decorate roundels across several stations and outfit some buses with poppy decorations as part of the citywide commemoration.
The light display at the London Eye remains one of the most iconic ways London pays homage to those who have made sacrifices in battle.
Summary
The annual poppy illumination on the London Eye offers a powerful visual tribute, bringing together the city to remember and honor fallen heroes.
