These memorial gestures all took place on November 11, giving universal recognition to the celebrated ending of World War I fighting at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). The day became known as “Armistice Day.” (Google)
Biggleswade Town Council and The British Royal Legion Biggleswade Branch on this Armistice Day 11th November 2022 paid their respects to the men and women for whom we have this period of Remembrance, those who have served and continue to serve our country so that we may live in a better, more peaceful world. We will never forget your sacrifices.
A special thanks also goes to those who supported the Armistice Day Ceremony at the War Memorial.
We thank Rosemary Bentley from St Andrew’s Church and Pastor Martin Ceaser conducted the service.
