"I've got six grandchildren and I think it's important that we remember if it was not for those who fought in WWI, we would not have the freedom that we have today," says Helen Wightman, 67, from Surrey.
Helen is walking in the parade with her younger sister, Julie Jones, 53, from Wigan, to remember their grandfather, Charles Izzard.
They are wearing his medals but details of his experience are hazy.
Julie recalls trying to interview him once for a school project but he got too upset.
"So many men died, he thought he was one of the very lucky ones," says Helen.

Emma Silk, 47, from Wiltshire, says she is proud and emotional to be walking in the parade later.
"I feel like I've got a Willy Wonka golden ticket to be part of the parade," she says.
Her grandfather lied about his age to join the war in 1917.
Part of the London Rifle Brigade, he lost his arm the day before Armistice Day.
While he made it home, he was to die seven years later after a fall that led to a fatal case of TB.
His son, Emma's father, was just 11 months old.
"I want to honour the memory of my grandfather - what he did for our freedom."
