Hi.I really dont mean to be rude,but what are you talking about?Im just wondering.thanks.
Armistice Day, it is when the UK and a few other European & the US commerate the ending of WW1, which fell on 11/11/1918. Every year it is a day of remerberance for those who fought/died for their country during the war. It also includes the many conflicts the British Troops have faced and are still facing since WW1.
The UK holds a Festival of Rememberance on the Saturday closest to the date & then they have a Parade at the Cenotaph (War Memorial) in London on the Sunday closest to this date. This goes on in many places in the UK too. It just happens that this year the 11/11 actually fell on the Sunday.
