PEACE activists held an Alternative Remembrance Sunday ceremony yesterday afternoon in Tavistock Square, a short walk from the official central London ceremony.

A wreath of white poppies was laid on the conscientious objectors’ memorial stone to remember all the people harmed or killed in war, including conscientious objectors and other civilians, as well as members of the armed forces.

A total of 100 people attended the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) event,  including former members of the British armed forces.
