At the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, a service was led by The Royal Anglian Regiment and a two minutes silence was held.

A special service has also been taking place at Ely Cathedral. A procession formed part of the build up consisting of members of the Royal British Legion, Veterans and Serving Personnel, the City of Ely Military Band, Standards, Various Uniformed Units, Cadet Forces and other youth organisations. A poppy fall from the Lantern Tower followed.
