Conseiller John Guille, chairman of the Policy & Finance Committee, will attend the ceremony on behalf of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
The opportunity to attend the service and lay a wreath for the Bailiwick rotates between Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, with Sark taking its turn this year.
Guernsey’s ambulance chief will also march past the Cenotaph tomorrow as one of just nine ambulance staff chosen to represent services across the UK and Crown Dependencies.
Chief ambulance officer John Atkins will parade with the Civilian Services Contingent at the National Service of Remembrance in Whitehall.
The contingent is made up of nominated representatives from the police, fire, ambulance and prison services, along with St John Ambulance and the British Red Cross.
Guernsey Fire and Rescue Service station officer Phil Kilgour will also be in the contingent, representing the UK’s fire services.
They will join political leaders, members of the Royal Family, armed forces representatives and veterans at the Cenotaph for the ceremony, which remembers the service and sacrifice of those who have protected and defended the country.
Today, Ambulance and Rescue’s head of operations, Dean De La Mare, will take part in the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall.
Mr De La Mare is one of two ambulance staff at the televised event. It is held in the presence of the King and includes personal testimonies, music and performances recognising the nation’s gratitude to serving personnel, veterans and their families.
Locally, chief operating officer Aimee Lihou will lay a wreath on behalf of the ambulance service at the Bailiwick Act of Remembrance at the Smith Street war memorial tomorrow morning, which takes place at 11am.
