| Cenotaph London Nov 2018/ Geoff Sutton |
The Cenotaph is a monument on Whitehall in London, England. It has been a symbol of honouring "The Glorious Dead" since World War I. At 11:00 on 11 November, Armistice Day, there are two minutes of silence, a ceremony, parade of veterans, and laying of wreaths.
I attended the 100th anniversary of the first armistice on 11 November 2018, which was a particularly poignant ceremony. Armistice Day is a well attended event so visitors will need to arrive early to get near the monument.

A few photos from the 100th anniversary event.
