Frequently asked questions

Who can attend the live-stream?

Anyone!! We would love family, friends and colleagues to join us.

Why do I need a free ticket?

Booking a ticket means we can contact you about any changes in the event. It also allows us to update you if there are any issues with the live-stream on the day

How do I join the event?

A day before the event we will e-mail you a link to the YouTube live-stream. You will be able to join this 5 minutes before the 11:30hrs start time so you have time to grab a cuppa.

What if I don't receive the e-mail with a link?

Double check your spam email box just in case. We will also post the live-stream link on this page on the morning of the event.

Will I be able to watch the YouTube live-stream on my Ministry of Defence device?

ModNet will now allow you to access YouTube, so you shouldn't have an issue. If you are having problems, we suggest you use you own device.

Why aren't you live-streaming this event on MSTeams?

We have streamed the Sanctuary Awards on MSTeams in past years, and it has sometimes been prone to 'freezing.' Because ModNet now allows us to access YouTube, we have taken the decision to not use MSTeams this year. It also means we also only need to monitor one live-stream feed!

What if I can't watch this event live?

A day or two after the ceremony , we will upload the full ceremony onto the Ministry of Defence YouTube channel.

How long will the event last?

We anticipate the ceremony will last just over an hour
