Remembrance Day<\/u><\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remembrance Day takes place on the 11th of November each year. It is also known as Armistice Day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Armistice was an agreement signed by the Germans and the Allies to mark the end of fighting in World War I. The signing of the Armistice took place on the 11th<\/sup> hour of the 11th day of the 11th\u00a0month and is still recognised today with a two-minute silence held at 11am on that day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Remembrance Sunday occurs on the second Sunday of November. It is a time to reflect on the service and sacrifice made by those in the Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, who have fought to protect our freedom and our way of life. We also remember the important role of emergency services and those who have lost their lives due to conflict or terrorism.<\/p>\n

Memorial Services are held throughout the United Kingdom, bringing together people from different faiths, cultures and backgrounds<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The poppy has been used as a symbol of Remembrance for over 100 years. It is also a symbol of hope for a peaceful future. During the devastation of World War I, the landscape became fields of mud where very little could grow.\u00a0 Over time, the countryside healed, and beautiful, bright red Flanders poppies grew in their thousands. The sight of poppies growing in former battlefields inspired Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae to write his now famous poem, In Flanders Fields, after he lost a friend in Ypres in 1915.<\/p>\n
