Burnham and Highbridge to mark Remembrance Day
PEOPLE in Burnham and Highbridge will observe a two-minute silence at 11am this morning to mark Remembrance Day.
A congregation will gather at the cenotaph Southwell House in Highbridge for a service to remember those who died in the First and Second World Wars and subsequent wars since then.
The silence on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month marks the moment the Armistice Treaty was signed between the Allies and Germany at the end of the First World War in 1918.
