It is being delivered in partnership with the governments of Australia, Canada, France and the United States of America. The public ballot for tickets to attend the event opened on 9 March, and will close on 9 April. Members of the public who wish to attend can apply via the web-page or in writing to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.</p><p> </p><p>The government’s programme of centenary events will culminate on 11 November 2018 with a series of events across the UK to mark the centenary of the Armistice. The National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph will follow traditional lines, to respect its wider purpose in remembering the fallen of all conflicts. The traditional veterans’ parade will then be followed by a civilian procession made up of 10,000 members of the public who wish to show their thanks to a generation who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today. An announcement regarding the public ballot for tickets to participate in this procession will be made in May. During the day, church and other bells will ring out as they did in 1918 to mark the end of the war. The government is supporting the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers to recruit 1,400 bell ringers (the number that were lost during the war) to create a national peal that will echo the impromptu outpouring of relief and joy that took place 100 years ago.</p><p> </p><p>The commemorations will conclude in the evening with a national service of thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey in London. Similar services will also take place in Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the national events, the other elements of government programme, such as the Schools' Battlefields Tours, the schools 'Great War Debates', the Victoria Cross Paving Stones, and funding for the repair and restoration of War Memorials will continue to ensure that the final year of the War and the Armistice are commemorated appropriately.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 03/04/2018 12:25:59 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
