Battle's Over Beacon at AYC

Published 15:34 on 10 Nov 2018

Tomorrow (11 November 2018) will mark 100 years to the day since the guns fell silent at the end of the First World War. Across the country, over 1200 beacons will be lit at 7pm as part of 'Battle's Over' – a tribute to the many millions who were killed or came home wounded.

The Beacons will symbolise the 'light of hope' that emerged from the darkness of war. The event will also commemorate the huge army of men and women on the home front who, often in dangerous and exhausting conditions, underpinned the war effort.

Weather permitting, we will be lighting a beacon at AYC at 7pm tomorrow. Please come and take part in this special event of remembrance
