A two-minute silence will be held followed by a brief recital performed on the Western Front violin by Benjamin Roskams from the Philharmonia Orchestra.

The violin was hand-crafted using wood from trees growing on the First World War battlefields at Ypres and the Somme where several hundred thousand Allied soldiers lost their lives between 1914 and 1918.

First World War veteran Bill Stone will be guest of honour.
