Public Invited to Remembrance Day Commemorations 2025

By: CIG Public Relations   

The Cayman Islands Government invites members of the public to attend the annual Remembrance Sunday ceremonies which will take place on Sunday, 9 November 2025, in both Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac. This year’s observances will be held at the Cenotaph at the Elmslie Memorial United Church on Seafarers Way in George Town, Grand Cayman and at the Cenotaph on the District Administration Lawn in Cayman Brac.

Both ceremonies will begin promptly at 10:45 a.m. Attendees and participants are asked to be seated by 10:30 a.m. and are reminded not to cross the parade grounds during the ceremony.

Government officials, veterans, members of the uniformed services and community members will lay wreaths to honour the courage, service, and sacrifices of those who served in the armed forces.

Attendees at the ceremonies are encouraged to wear poppies, which is the enduring symbol of remembrance and respect. Poppies are available at the Government Administration Building on Grand Cayman and the District Administration Building on Cayman Brac. The Cayman Islands Veterans’ Association will also have poppies available at the event. Appropriate formal attire, with closed footwear and clothing that covers the shoulders, is expected at the events. 

Members of the public are reminded that certain roads may be temporarily closed to facilitate the ceremonies. Motorists are advised to follow signage and make suitable travel arrangements.
