Remembrance Day marks the end of World War One in 1918, at 11 am, on the 11th day, of the 11th month. 

It is a day to commemorate the contribution and loss of British and Commonwealth servicemen and women in the World Wars and all worldwide conflicts since.

They shall not grow 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. 

Laurence Binyon
