    Default Rememberance Day 11/11

    At 11am here on this day we remember fallen and departed comrades with a minutes silence :



    They shall grow not old
    As we who are left grow old
    Age shall not weary them
    Or the years condemn
    At the going down of Sun
    And in the morning
    We will remember them
    Lest we forget.

    Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day and Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognized as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918; hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.)
    The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance of members of the armed forces who were killed during World War I. This was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917.[1]
    The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

    we get a 5 minute warning on the tannoy at work (yes Tannoy is technically a brand as reiterated by alan partridge)

    then chimes to start and end the two minutes


    anyone who speaks during it gets verbally abused from 11.02 onwards

    Well done Andre, we have "Memorial Day" here in the States today. Like a lot of the Veterans who survived the Wars/Battles will tell you: "I'm no hero, the real heros are the buried, who made the ultimate sacrifice and never got to come home again."

    cheers to our fallen bothers and sisters in arms..
