Reunion and Remembrance Service, Sunday 23rd November 2025
This year’s Reunion and Remembrance Service will take place on Sunday 23rd November at the Royal Naval Memorial, Southsea, starting at 12.00 noon and continuing with an informal gathering at the Royal Maritime Hotel, Portsmouth. The usual arrangements will apply, but please be aware that significant coastal defence works continue to be carried out on the road adjacent to the memorial, which will restrict our access. We recommend using the Esplanade car park (PO5 3AP) and walking to the memorial along the tarmac path. The alternative car park at the D-Day museum is a little further away and the walk from there has kerbs and roads to navigate. We will keep an eye on what’s happening and update you if we have any further advice.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible to pay tribute to the men of HMS Dunedin.
Another important date for your diary: the 85th Anniversary of the loss of HMS Dunedin, Saturday 21st November 2026. On this day, we shall hold a Remembrance Service at the Royal Naval Memorial, Southsea, and a formal gathering of Dunedin Society members for presentations, discussions and viewing of artefacts and documents. We expect this to be a fairly large meeting, so please put this date in your diary and check back here for updates.
