Rememberance

[bednobs]

Are you supposed to have 2 minutes silence today the 11th as well as yesterday?

[bhg481]

They just announced it on the radio that there will be 2 minutes silence today.

[Neveracrossword]

I think there always is one on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

[Pete65]

Yes, today is Armistice Day.

[calmck]

There are two days with the 2minute silence. On 11\11 and on the closest Sunday to 11/11

[spathiphyllum]

There is Remembrance Sunday and then there is Remembrance Day / Armistice Day.

Remembrance Sunday is always held on the 2nd Sunday of November. Armistice Day / Remembrance Day is held on the 11th of the 11th.

[emmie]

yes, it's to mark Armistice Day
