Armistice Day / Remembrance Day 2023
Originally known as Armistice Day, it was renamed Remembrance Day after World War Two to commemorate those who lost their lives in both World Wars.
For the Fallen (Extract)
By Laurence Binyon
They shall grow not 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 will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
