The photographs below show the Annual Ceremony to commemorate the 91st anniversary of the arrival of The Unknown Warrior (The Unknown Soldier) at Platform 8 at Victoria Station on 10 November 1920.
A Guard of Honour stayed overnight with The Unknown Warrior at Victoria prior to his journey via the Cenotaph to Westminster Abbey the following day on 11 November 1920.
Each year on 10 November at about 8.15 pm there is a wreath laying ceremony conducted by the WFA's London Branch at Victoria Station to commemorate the event.
