What is Remembrance Day?
November is the time of year when we wear a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their live for us during wars.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the signing of the Armistice on 11 November 1918 to signal the end of World War One.
Remembrance Day is on 11 November, which is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who have died during the two World Wars and other conflicts. At one time it was known as Armistice Day and was renamed after the Second World War.
Remembrance Sunday is held the second Sunday in November, nearest to the 11th day. Special services are held at war memorials and churches all over Britain, including at Thomas Rotherham College.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE DISPLAY IN THE LRC.
