Remembrance Day
Poppy Day - Remembrance Day - is the day when the dead of two World Wars and other armed conflicts are remembered in the UK. The Armistice at the end of the First World War of 1914 - 1918 was signed on November 11th at precisely 11 am - the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. For this reason, Remembrance Day is on the 11th of November each year although church services and many parades are held on the Sunday nearest that date.
The observance of Remembrance at the War Memorial, Bedford Place, Alloa, including the laying of wreaths, took place on Sunday 9th November 2008 at eleven o'clock.
