EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant moment captures the essence of the Armistice Day ceremony held on the 11th of November, 1920, as King George V initiates the unveiling of the Cenotaph in London. The Cenotaph, an empty tomb built to honor the fallen soldiers of World War I, stands solemnly in the background, with the Union Jack flag fluttering proudly above it. As the King sets the apparatus in motion, one of the large Union Jacks begins to slip down, a subtle reminder of the passing of an era. The first note from Big Ben echoes through the air, marking the beginning of the two minutes of silence that followed the last stroke of the clock at 11am. During this solemn moment, the coffin of the Unknown Warrior, symbolizing the countless lives lost in the war, waits patiently beside the Cenotaph. The ceremony marked the end of the commemoration of the Armistice Day, which had begun with parades and celebrations, and served as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War. This powerful image encapsulates the emotions of the day - a sense of loss, pride, and hope for the future. The Union Jack flag, a symbol of unity and strength, adds a poignant touch to the scene, as it slips down, mirroring the transition from war to peace.
