Those attending the Cenotaph Service of Remembrance on Saturday 8 or Sunday 9 November will also receive free travel, including complementary return journeys on Sunday 9 November.

Free travel is available to current serving Armed Forces personnel in uniform and veterans travelling with their medals.

c2c Managing Director, Rob Mullen, said: “At c2c, we take great pride in remembering and honouring those people that keep us safe and those that made the ultimate sacrifice to protect all of us from the oppressive regimes that threatened the world in 1914 and 1939. We’re honoured to offer veterans and serving military personnel complimentary travel to the Remembrance events this weekend and thank them for their incredible service.”
