Lincolnshire Communities Unite in Silence for Armistice Day

Lincolnshire stood together with the country in observing a solemn two-minute silence at 11:00 GMT to commemorate Armistice Day, marking 107 years since the conclusion of World War One. A deeply moving ceremony in Cleethorpes was attended by nearly 200 schoolchildren and showcased a touching spectacle of 700 hand-crafted poppies. Darren Hardy, chair of the Royal Navy Association club in Cleethorpes, underlined the critical nature of teaching the new generation about the sacrifices made during wars. Veterans such as George Key and Simon Elliot also participated, highlighting the necessity to remember those who did not come back. The day’s activities mirror Lincolnshire’s profound respect and gratitude towards those who served and gave up so much in past conflicts.
