Salon Varietes Theatre, Calle Emancipacion.
Annual Remembrance Sunday Service, organised by the local British Legion Branch. Everyone is welcome to join us and Pause, Remember, Reflect. We remember and honour ALL who have lost their lives to war and those that have served for their countries too. We Will Remember Them.
On the Costa del Sol, the Royal British Legion's Spain South district has branches including Marbella, Mijas Costa, Torremolinos and Duquesa, and its Fuengirola service at the Salón Varietés theatre is a long-standing fixture. St George's Anglican Church in Málaga has also traditionally held a service, with wreaths laid on the war graves in its British Cemetery. Here is every confirmed service we know of on the Costa del Sol this year, and we'll add more as branches announce them.
Remembrance Sunday falls on the second Sunday in November, and Armistice Day is always 11 November. Spain's British and Commonwealth communities mark both, with Royal British Legion branches, churches and veterans' associations holding services, parading standards and laying wreaths. Everyone is welcome at the public services, whatever their nationality and whether or not they have a military connection.
Local arrangements are often published only in the last few days and can change, so check the organiser's page for the time and place before you travel. We add services to this guide as they're confirmed.
It's the second Sunday in November. Armistice Day is always 11 November, with a two-minute silence at 11:00. Spain is an hour ahead of the UK, so the silence at the Cenotaph in London falls at 12:00 on the Costa del Sol.
Yes. Public services are open to everyone, including veterans, families, residents and visitors, and you don't need to be British or have a military connection. If an event is by invitation or for members only, the listing says so.
Most include standards on parade, the Last Post, a two-minute silence, Reveille and the laying of wreaths, with prayers or readings. Many are followed by a lunch or social gathering organised by the local branch.
Royal British Legion branches run the Poppy Appeal from the third week of October until Remembrance Sunday, so the services and fundraising events on this page are a good place to find one. Your nearest branch can tell you about other collection points.
List it free. Branches, churches and associations are all welcome. Once it's checked, it appears on this guide and on the town's What's On page.
