World War One began in 1914 and ended in 1918. The war ended at exactly 11o’clock in the morning of Sunday 11th November after both sides agreed to stop fighting.
After the war people remember the soldiers who died every year on 11th November. This is called Remembrance Day.
On Remembrance Day people also think about those who lost their lives in World War Two and more recent conflicts.
Come along and make a remembrance poppy to hang on our tree or decorate a wreath so that you can remember a loved one.
Find out about our Remembrance Day service at Ilford War Memorial Gardens.
