Mr Duggan died when officers blocked the grey people carrier in Tottenham, north London, on August 4 last year as part of a pre-planned operation, and shot him in the chest.
London Mayor Boris Johnson said of the anniversary: “It’s an important time to remember what happened.
“There is a commemoration taking place and I think it will be observed as it should be in a proper and dignified way.”
A private memorial service will be held tomorrow, the family said, and details of the venue were not released.
The family also stressed they would not be making a public appearance this weekend.
