Thames (NZ): Armistice Day 11 November 2020

 Did you remember the significance of the day?

11 November? We call it Armistice Day, while in England it is called Remembrance Day.

In 2018, a large number of Thamesites gathered at the Peace Memorial to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the ending of World War One.

How did the town remember the Armistice Day 2020?

While the facebook community posted endless "Lest We Forget' messages, the gathering at the Peace Memorial this year was small. Maybe next year, people may find the time to remember in person, and not just on the internet.
