## Summary

The Foreign Office’s 2026 staff calendar lists 110 awareness days, weeks and months but does not include Remembrance Sunday, prompting criticism over its priorities. The omission comes as the King leads the annual Cenotaph service, where the country remembers members of the Armed Forces who died in service.

The calendar does include 11 November, alongside four transgender-awareness observances, two focused on intersex issues and 20 related to mental health and neurodiversity. D-Day, VE Day and St George’s Day also appear to be absent. A government spokesman said the department has supported national remembrance commemorations for decades, and staff observe the two-minute silence and raise money for the Royal British Legion.
