Remembrance day (copy)

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, marks the signing of the Armistice on 11th of November 1918, to signal the ending of World War one.  At 11am the guns on the western front fell silent for the first time in 4 years

This day, known as Armistice day has been celebrated across the world ever since.  It was renamed Remembrance day after the second World War.  It is a day of remembrance for all of those that gave their lives in the 2 world wars and all conflicts since.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
