Remembrance Sunday:
Remembrance Sunday, observed on the second Sunday of November, pays tribute to those who lost their lives in conflicts, with particular focus on World Wars I and II.
The commemoration is held on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day, which marked the ceasefire that ended World War I at 11:00 on 1November 11, 1918.
This tradition remains an important part of the country’s heritage, ensuring that the sacrifices of those who fought and died for their country are not forgotten.
The MOTHs traditionally parade to the cemetery, where wreaths are laid as a symbol of remembrance of all fallen heroes.
