The customary two minutes’ silence will be observed and a short service will follow. The public will be marshalled into columns and will move from Whitehall toward Westminster, so that they may deposit wreaths on the Cenotaph as they pass. Arrangements will be made for those who so desire to pass through Westminster Abbey before the grave of the Unknown Soldier. The Church authorities have been asked to arrange that services shall be commenced at such an hour as may be convenient in order to ensure that there shall be in every church a pause in the service at 11 a.m.
