11 November 2023
Services and parades are held across the country to remember and honour those who lost their lives in World War One and the following conflicts.
As a tradition, a two-minute silence is observed at 11am.
The two-minute silence is held on both Remembrance Day and Remembrance Sunday after The Last Post is sounded.
It is held on November 11, commemorating the day the war ended in 1918.
Many services on the following Sunday then hold the two-minute silence again at cenotaphs, parades and public events. Both are at 11am.
11am marks the time agreements were made that ended the World War One. The silence is held at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.
