MPs joined with veterans to honour the Gurkhas who served and laid down their lives in the British Armed Forces.
Gurkha soldiers from Nepal have served in the British Army for more than 200 years, first being recruited by the Empire in 1815.
The soldiers served in both the First and Second World Wars, in combat theatres such as the Western Front and the Middle East in WW1, and Italy, North Africa and Asia in WW2.
Veterans and parliamentarians gathered to pay their respects to fallen Gurkha soldiers during these conflicts and others at the Gurkha Memorial in London.
Matt Rodda, the Labour MP for Reading Central, said: “It was an honour to be able to show my support for the Gurkhas by attending the Remembrance Ceremony at the Gurkha Memorial outside the Ministry of Defence in Whitehall.
Peter Swallow, the Labour MP for Bracknell, said: “We remember those who have given their lives to protect our country and the peace and freedoms we enjoy.
“At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.”
The memorial event took place on Wednesday, November 5.
It was organised by the All Party Parliamentary Groups for the Gurkhas and for Nepal, taking place at the statue of the Gurkha in Horse Guards Avenue, Whitehall.
Mr Swallow also thanked organisers of Remembrance Sunday and memorial events across Bracknell Forest for the hard work they have done.
