Remembrance Day
Rem…embrance Day has been observed every year since 1919 with a two minute silence at 11am on 11 November in the UK and many Commonwealth Countries.
The Falkland Islands will mark the two minute silence in Stanley with members of the FIDF firing the guns on Victory Green at 11:00am to mark the beginning of the two minutes silence, a second shot will be fired at 11:02am to mark completion.
This is an opportunity for the Falkland Islands to briefly pause and remember the sacrifice made in both World Wars, the Vietnam War and the Falklands War. We also remember the ongoing commitment from British Forces South Atlantic Islands and all those Falkland Islanders who have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces around the world.
