Tomorrow is the 11th November. This means that it is the day that we all remember those who were killed during the First World War, this is due to Germany signing the treaty in Berlin to mark the end of the war on the 11th November 1918, at 11am. So now we all take a minutes silence at 11am, on the 11th of November. Today however, we also use this date to remember those who were killed in the Second World War, and all those that followed.
This has been the tradition in the United Kingdom for many years, and will be for years to come. I feel so guilty that I haven't been able to wear a poppy this year, so my tribute is to change the background of my blog to Poppy's instead. I will also be watching the ceremony online tomorrow morning, live from the Cenotaph in London.
Thank you, R.I.P.
