| 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.
Did you know that there is a plague dedicated to the Lyneham
Heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice of their lives in World
War I, it is located in the village library, which used to
be the Old Memorial Hall.
We remember the heroes from Lyneham More..
Have you got your Poppy?
Please wear a poppy with true pride. More...
