A smaller crowd than usual attended the Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Berwick Cenotaph on Friday 11th November.Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, Remembrance Day is observed throughout the Commonwealth, to honour armed forces members who lost their lives in battle during the First World War.
At 11 am on 11 November 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. The war left between 9 and 13 million dead.
