Armistice Day (also known as Remembrance Day) is on 11 November and commemorates the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. While this official date to mark the end of the war reflects the cease fire on the Western Front, hostilities continued in other regions, especially across the former Russian Empire and in parts of the old Ottoman Empire.
11/11/11 - Been a while since I blogged been Ill with the flu and been busy with work so quick catchup on some things.
Went on sunday in manchester city centre with my grandad who actually fought in WW2 and obviously it's something not alot of people even me will ever understand what those people actually went through in WW1 + 2 so it's a day for remembering the people who made this world what it is today. And it's why I'm proud to be a brit.
R.i.P and thank you for all you did, never forget always remember.
