Today on the 11th November, we remember the individuals who have fallen on the front line.

We as a country will reflect on the sacrifices made for us and pay our respect to those who not only lost their lives, but the veterans who served.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day during the eleventh month commemorates the end of World War I.

In remembrance of those who went to war for us, red poppies will be laid, parades will be observed and silence will be held.

Lest we forget.
