PICTURES: Kilkenny Armistice Day in the Peace Park
Armistice Day was commemorated in Kilkenny last weekend to honour those who died in World War I
The Kilkenny Great War Memorial Committee held an Armistice Day event in Kilkenny's Peace Park on Sunday, November 10.
The commemoration ceremony consisted of prayers, poetry, music, wreath laying, Last Post and Reveille, as well as the raising of the national flag and playing the national anthem.
Armistice Day, which is also known as Remembrance Day and Veterans Day, is commemorated every year on November 11 to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France in 1918. This year marks 105 years since the treaty.
The Kilkenny Great War Memorial Committee was founded in 2011 to promote and honour the memory of the over 800 Kilkenny men and five women who gave their lives in World War I, for the cause of freedom in Europe from 1914-1918.
