Remembrance Sunday PA & Video Hire

Remembrance Sunday deserves quiet professionalism, clear sound, and respectful visuals. AVE Services supplies outdoor PA systems and video solutions for services, parades, and wreath-laying across November—covering everything from a small battery speaker at a village memorial to full large-scale audio with IMAG cameras and LED videowall for town and city events.

We regularly support councils, town & parish councils, Royal British Legion branches, churches & cathedrals, schools & colleges, cadet forces (ATC/ACF/Sea Cadets), military associations, veterans groups, BIDs & town centre partnerships, and charities (including those supporting veterans such as Help for Heroes).

Remembrance - a memorial day observed in the Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in battle. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

What we provide

• Outdoor PA systems

  • Small Battery Systems – discreet, cable-light setups ideal for village greens, churchyards, and memorials (perfect for readings, prayers, and the two-minute silence).

  • Basic Speaker Hire / Standard Packages – powered speakers with wired/wireless microphones for attendance up to ~500.

  • Parade Audio – distributed speakers along routes, wireless mic for parade commands, and music playback for hymns and the Last Post/Reveille.

  • Large-Scale PA – arrays and delay speakers for town squares and city memorials; crystal-clear coverage for thousands.

• Video & IMAG

  • IMAG camera packages to relay the service to screens for those further back.

  • LED Videowall hire (various sizes) with daylight-bright visibility for names, readings, poppy imagery, and the order of service.

  • Live streaming options for those watching at home or in care settings.

• Show-ready extras

  • Weather-resistant mics, windshields, and pop filters.

  • Playback of hymns and wartime music (licensing advice where required).

  • Power solutions (silent generators), cable ramps, barriers, and tidy cable runs.
