"Every night of the year, without exception, policemen close the road to traffic at 8.00 p.m. and then stand at the salute while buglers from the Ypres Fire Brigade play "The Last Post". This happens whatever the weather and there is always someone there to watch. The people living near the Menin Gate often open their doors and stand on their doorsteps to join in this daily act of Remembrance in honour of the young and brave who came from all over the world to die in the defence of their town."

Every night since 1918.

And what do we do?

Around one million British and allied troops gave their lives. It matters not what they fought for or against, it matters that they died in the belief that they were making a better world for the next generation.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
