Day of Reflection for the COVID-19 Pandemic - Sunday 9 March 2025

Day of Reflection for the COVID-19 pandemic Sunday 9 March 2025

Sunday 9 March 2025 is the Day of Reflection across the UK for the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 Day of Reflection is one of the ten recommendations set out by the UK Commission on Covid Commemoration.

To mark the fifth anniversary of the pandemic, people across the UK are invited to come together to remember and reflect on this unique period of our history as well as their own experiences.

Why we mark the Day of Reflection

The UK Commission on Covid Commemoration was set up to find appropriate ways to remember those who lost their lives since the pandemic began, and to explore how we mark this period of our history.

The Commission held an in depth consultation with those most impacted by the pandemic, including representatives from bereaved family organisations. In September 2023 it published its final report, recommending an annual UK-wide day of reflection.

By continuing to hold a Day of Reflection, in line with previous years, we hope to offer communities across the country the opportunity to join together in commemoration of those who lost their lives.

On Sunday 9 March 2025, people are invited to:

  • remember and commemorate those who lost their lives since the pandemic began
  • reflect on the sacrifices made by many, and on the impact of the pandemic on us all
  • pay tribute to the work of health and social care staff, frontline workers and researchers
  • appreciate those who volunteered and showed acts of kindness during this unprecedented time
