Today it is Sunday, initially I thought it is ordinary Sunday and day off for many people. Only when I was outside on the way shopping I noticed a gathering of many people, there were many in suits, elderly people wearing their medals and also there were some in military clothes of different types. I am not really good in recognising the type of military type but they were also having the flags and people could recognise that. There was life music and it was nice to see many young people and also children.
Today is Remembrance Day when people remember all those who fall in War protecting the live of their lands men and also the veterans. That year is celebrated every year in November and in order to join that celebrating people wear a red poppy. If you watched the news on BBC, you probably noticed that the moderators of the channel also wearing the poppy. Many charity organisation collecting money in order to support veterans.
While later on when I switched news channel it was a bigger celebration with Royal family of the Remembrance Day in London. This is also first time after the chemotherapy of the Princess of Wales Kate she publicly took part in such open event. She was looking quiet tired, but maybe the black clothes made her look so. There were definitely many people there and it is one the biggest celebration in country.
The other event that usually happens often on weekend of that day is Fireworks. The celebrating day is 5th of November and often we have fireworks on that day in the evening. This week it was not much of it and it was not too loud, maybe because Tuesday, the 5th of November fell onto the US election day, many were destructed by watching the news.
I am inviting following users for contest: @rumanaafroz, @sana-khan01, @vickyson
