  • Honouring the fallen 

    At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front finally fell silent, effectively ending World War I.  

    The first Armistice Day (now Remembrance Day) was marked exactly one year later, with citizens around the world uniting in silence to remember the fallen.  

    More than 100 years on, Remembrance Day remains an important time to remember all who have lost their lives in service.
