Cypriot community marks Remembrance Sunday in the UK

Representatives of the National Federation of Cypriots in the UK participated in Remembrance Sunday commemorations across Britain on November 8, 2026. The delegation laid wreaths at various war memorials in north London to honour those who perished during the two World Wars and subsequent military conflicts.

The Federation was represented by Executive Secretary Andreas Karaolis in Hendon, Vice-President Pambos Charalambous in Haringey, and Secretariat members Stelios Michaelides in New Barnet and Welwyn, along with Nicholas Nikou in Enfield. Federation President Christos Karaolis emphasised the importance of maintaining historical memory and paid tribute to the thousands of Cypriots who served alongside Allied and Commonwealth forces. He specifically highlighted the role of the estimated 16,000 Cypriots who served in the Cyprus Mule Corps during the First World War, noting that their contributions to Britain's 20th-century wartime efforts should not be forgotten.
