Located here https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6318861 alongside Station Road on Remembrance Day Monday November 11th 2019, the 100th anniversary of the first Remembrance Day on November 11th 1919. Nationwide a two minutes' silence is observed to remember the members of the armed forces who died in the line of duty. The tradition was begun by King George V in 1919, exactly a year after the Armistice on November 11th 1918 which marked the end of hostilities in the Great War (First World War). Hostilities formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month 1918. The First World War did not officially end until the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.
