Milton Keynes Rose to hold Armistice Day Observance

    Since the end of the war, Armistice Day has been commemorated on 11th November, with a two-minute silence at 11.00am.

    The traditional two-minute silence is held every year to mark the end of the First World War, after an agreement between Germany and the Allies took effect at the "11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918.

    A short observance of Armistice Day will be held at the Milton Keynes Rose, Campbell Park on Thursday 11 November 2021. 

    All residents are welcome to attend and pay their respects.

    Whilst there are no official COVID-19 restrictions in place, attendees are being asked to be mindful of others and maintain social distancing for the ceremony. 

    The Milton Keynes Rose features 106 pillars that have been positioned in the shape of a flower, inscribed with dates of events that have local, national or international significance.

    There are also 40 pillars remaining without an engraving to ensure that future events and significant dates can be permanently marked.
