The National Memorial Arboretum is near Alrewas, Staffordshire, England. It was established around 2000 on approximately 150 acres of old gravel workings adjacent to the River Tame, with its official opening on 16 May 2001. It is managed by The Royal British Legion and is part of the National Forest. It contains over 50,000 trees, with more being added each year. Memorials have been established for many branches of the armed services, civilians involved in conflicts and other organisations, such as the police and fire service. There is also an arts centre, cafe and visitor centre. Entrance is free of charge. A two-minute silence, accompanied by the Last Post and Reveille, is observed at 11 am each day. In October 2007, the War Memorial to those who died serving in the British Armed Forces was opened by Queen Elizabeth II at the National Memorial Arboretum.
