Remembering the Korean War | Highlights from Horse Guards Parade

On 27 July 2023, 70 years since the signing of the armistice that brought about an end to military operations in Korea, we were joined by veterans, their descendants and bereaved family members for a special service of Remembrance at Horse Guards Parade in London.
Referred to by many as ‘the Forgotten War’, 60,000 service personnel from across Britain and the Commonwealth saw action from 1950-1953 in Korea, with 1,100 losing their lives.
Their service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

A welcome memory of a very moving occasion made possible by the wonderful Royal British Legion. From 🎉a very grateful Korea Veteran

[@arthurnorman584]

Since most Korean Veterans are over
90yrs old (I am one of them) and travel and London accommodation is very expensive why could it not been held some ware more central i.e. the arboretum

Damn I'm neither British or Korean but when they started playing the Korean traditional music towards the end I started tearing up.

[@tango6nf477]

Why the music while people were trying to speak, at times they were overcome by it.

Such a shame it couldn't be held in the Abbey again like in 2013
