Lunchtime Conversations: Remembrance

24 November 2026

Venue: CPA Room, Westminster

Our Lunchtime Conversations are a regular monthly event in the CPA Room in Westminster Hall. They are open to all MPs, Peers, parliamentary staff and guests.

Remembrance

As the Second World War passes further into history, we will explore how parliamentarians can lead their nations, and the wider Commonwealth, in remembrance and commemoration.

This Lunchtime Conversation is in collaboration with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).

The chair of this event will be Rebecca Smith MP. Rebecca is also the Chair of the APPG for CWGC and Commemoration.

Confirmed panellists so far are:

  • Charles Garrett, CWGC Head of Global Relations and Strategy
  • Brigadier Karl Harris
