Remembrance Day 2018

This Sunday marks 100 years since the Armistice was signed in November 1918, bringing an end to the First World War. 

Big Ben sounded in Parliament Square to ring in the news as thousands gathered in Westminster and outside Buckingham Palace roaring in celebration, sparking three days of jubilation across Britain, with members of the public climbing the lions in Trafalgar Square.

In the House of Commons, the prime minister, Lloyd George, concluded his address with the declaration: “I hope we may say that thus, this fateful morning, came an end to all wars.”

A special display dedicated to Armistice 1918 has gone up in the school library, commemorating the Centenary of the end of the First World War.
