Armistice day – end of World War I
Each year we commemorate the end of hostilities of World War I
Sikhs together with people of many nationalities come together in Ieper on the 11th of November, which was one of the main battlegrounds of World War I
This year there is no poppy parade and no gathering at the Menen Gate due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
