The mayor of Barnet, Cllr Nagus Narenthira, will lay a wreath at the Hendon War Memorial on Sunday (November 12th).

The council leader and leader of the opposition will also be in attendance along with veterans, other representatives of the armed forces and emergency services, and the Salvation Army Band.
