Release of pigeons (to signify peace).

The National Salute (full anthem).

The Parade Commander seeks the permission of the President to march of the colours.

This brings the ceremony to an end.

21 gun salute, then the Reveille.

The Chairman of the Nigerian Legion (a retired colonel) lays his wreath.

Tambuwal isn't there.

The Deputy Speaker lays his wreath.

The band plays Auld Lang Syne as the President lays his wreath.

Minute silence.

They are now advancing towards the arcade.

The most elaborate march I've ever seen was at the 1991 or 1992 remembrance day when the coffin of the Unknown Soldier was moved from Tafawa Balewa Square Lagos to the Cenotaph Abuja.

The ceremony has begun. The President is currently receiving the National Salute.

It's live on the NTA.

dominique:
I remember watching the colourful parades on the NTA as s kid. I've not watched any recently, is it still shown?

RIP to the gallant departed soldiers. Your labours shall never be in vain!

In the past they used to show the ceremony at 10 o'clock in the night (remember that tv stations did not start transmitting until 5 o'clock in the evening), but now they show it live.

They should show it around 10 or 11 o'clock this morning on the NTA Network Service.

I wish that more people in Nigeria would buy and wear the remembrance day emblem. The money that's raised from the sale of the emblem is used to take care of injured and aged retired soldiers.

Last year President Jonathan made it mandatory for all visitors and workers at the Aso Rock Villa to buy and wear the emblem before they would be given access into the Villa.

It's impossible to see any prominent British politician that is not wearing the emblem in late October/early November. All EPL managers (both english and foreign) wear the emblem in October/November.

Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph, Abuja.

Remembrance day was previously held on November 11 (11:11) and there used to be a minute silence at 11am (11:11:11), but it was moved to January 15 to mark the end of the Nigerian Civil War.

The ceremony will be held this morning at the Cenotaph, Abuja.

Let's take a moment to remember Major SK Umaru.

[size=14pt]Major SK Umaru: Another Brave Hero Killed By Boko Haram Bullets[/size]

Major SK Umaru was killed yesterday Wednesday December 17th during a battle with Boko Haram militants. Described as a committed soldier, Umaru told friends when he was posted to the war front recently that he was ready for whatever his mission brings him. Sadly, it brought death. May his soul rest in peace Amen.
