(&#8220;At the 11th hour&#8221; refers to the passing of the\n11th hour, or 11:00 am.) The First World War formally ended with the signing of\nthe Treaty of Versailles on 28 June 1919.<\/p><p>The tradition of Remembrance Day evolved out of Armistice Day. The\ninitial Armistice Day was observed at Buckingham Palace, commencing with King\nGeorge V hosting a &#8220;Banquet in Honour of the President of the French\nRepublic&#8221; during the evening hours of 10 November 1919. The first official\nArmistice Day was subsequently held on the grounds of Buckingham Palace the\nfollowing morning. During the Second World War, many countries changed the name\nof the holiday. Member states of the Commonwealth of Nations adopted\nRemembrance Day, while the US chose Veterans Day.<\/p><p>They shall\ngrow not old, as we that are left grow old: <\/p><p>Age shall\nnot weary them, nor the years condemn.<\/p><p>At the\ngoing down of the sun and in the morning<\/p><p>We will remember them.<\/p><p>#lestweforget<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/15.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/15.png 710w, https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/15-16x20.png 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-80564\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/16.png 796w, https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/16-768x864.png 768w, https:\/\/www.crownwinecellars.com\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/16-18x20.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of wearing a remembrance poppy) is a memorial day [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":80561,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-80560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community-contribution"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 -
