Armistice Day

Armistice Day, observed on 11th November, commemorates the end of World War I and honours the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians during the war. The day marks the signing of the armistice between the Allies and Germany, which took effect at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. It is a solemn occasion to remember those who lost their lives in the conflict and to reflect on the importance of peace.

In many countries, including the UK, France, and Canada, Armistice Day is marked by ceremonies, parades, and moments of silence. The red poppy is worn as a symbol of remembrance, and wreaths are laid at war memorials to honour those who served.
