Elmbridge Remembers
On 11th November 1919 King George V observed a two-minute silence at Buckingham Palace, London. This marked the first official ‘Armistice Day’, exactly a year after the guns had fallen silent across the Western Front. It took its name from the armistice agreement signed in a railway carriage between the Allies and defeated Germans on 11th November 1918 at 11am.
The Second World War saw a renewed need for remembrance. Armistice Day was changed to Remembrance Day to honour both World Wars.
Today, it remains a day to remember, reflect and honour the sacrifice of all who have died in wars, conflicts and terrorist acts since 1914.
