Why we celebrate Remembrance Day…

As a way to honour those who have their lives to serve our country, we pause at 11am on November, 11th.

Why 11am?

In most countries, Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of the First World War hostilities. These hostilities ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918, in accordance with the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning.

Lest we forget 🌺😔
