A minute's silence is held at 11:00 AM on Remembrance Day to remember and honour those who have died in the line of duty.
Remembrance Day is a time to honour and remember the sacrifices made by those who have served in the armed forces. On Remembrance Day, people gather at war memorials and cenotaphs to pay their respects and to observe a minute's silence at 11:00 AM. The silence is a sign of respect and a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who gave their lives in service of their country.
