On Wednesday 3rd September 2025, the Principality will mark the 81st anniversary of its Liberation with a solemn remembrance ceremony at the Monaco Cemetery.

The commemoration will begin at 4:30pm, with wreaths laid at the Monument aux Morts as well as on the graves of René Borghini and Joseph Lajoux, two Monegasque heroes of the Resistance. The service will continue with prayers for the dead and for peace, a minute of silence, the sounding of the bugle, and the performance of the national anthems.

The music will be provided by the Municipal Music Ensemble, under the direction of Pierre Proust, lending solemnity to this annual act of remembrance.

An invitation to participate

The Mayor of Monaco, Georges Marsan, has extended an invitation to patriotic societies wishing to associate themselves with the ceremony. Those interested are asked to contact the Protocol Office of the Mairie at protocole@mairie.mc.
