The topic for S's school program was Remembrance Day. Program was very nice and S had a nice speaking part. She read loudly and clearly.
They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We shall remember them.
In the United Kingdom, two minutes of silence is observed on 11 November, observance is on the second Sunday of November, Remembrance Sunday. Ceremonies are held at local war memorials, usually organized by local branches of the Royal British Legion – an association for ex-servicemen. Typically, poppy wreaths are laid by representatives of the Crown, the armed forces, and local civic leaders, as well as by local organizations including ex-servicemen organizations. We call this Veterans day and of course it is celebrated by many countries to mark the end of WWI and in remembrance of all wars.
