Our very first Commemorations at Christmas carol service recapped

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation team would like to say a huge thank you to all of our acts, volunteers and guests at this year’s Commemorations at Christmas Carol Service.

After the disappointment of cancelling the event in 2021, this was the first event of its kind that we have organised and we are pleased to report it was a huge success!

We welcomed over 430 history lovers, honoured guests and CWGF supporters from all sorts of backgrounds to the Royal Military (The Guards’) Chapel in the heart of London, where we saw an amazing programme of entertainment.

From the incredible music performances from students of the Purcell School, the Guards’ Chapel’s Choir and Barbara Dickson OBE to readings from Sir Michael Morpurgo and Sir Anthony Seldon.

“Commemorations at Christmas was a wonderful experience and a brilliant achievement for everyone involved,” said John Grain, the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation Executive Director. “It was wonderful to meet so many people and to see them enjoy the evening. The performances were outstanding, and it was every bit as moving and special as we had hoped for.”

In the meantime, please visit our Events page to see what else we have coming up.
