Remember ww1?

In the UK its this big deal that we remember the end of the war ans give minutes silence etc, the Queen comes out of her hole and puts a wreath down, the whole of the UK pins poppys to their clothes

Do any of you other European countries do anything significant?

E: that's why all epl games had minutes silence + black armbands today

na there a bunch of 3rd worlders with no respect

USA has Veterans Day and the poppys are done as well on like Memorial Day. In Canada this is done as well but i think they do the celebration thing a week early i think

Uk will also had silence on Tuesday which is 11th - but whichever weekend falls closest there are loads of ceremonies.
This year because it's 100 years basically every town and city is having parades etc

Good to see fellow winners of World Wars remembering those who passed defending the good guys
100 years since the start of WWI i presume no?

well the end was 1918 november 11th.

well yeah but he said 100 years and the war started in 1914, that's why i was asking

Yes for some reason it's touted as a special occasion 100 years on, so i guess we will have exactly the same in 2018

in canada we call november 11th rememberance day, and celebrate it on a high scale

then you would be correct. 100years ago, but started in july 28th 1914.
