Remembrance Sunday is held annually on the second Sunday in November – the Sunday nearest to ‘Armistice Day’ which is commemorated every year on the 11th November to mark armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at 11am in the morning.
