Yesterday was November 11, it' s a special memorial day. We went Downtown to attended the Remembrance Day ceremony. The Remembrance Day ceremony took place at the Old City Hall Cenotaph in Toronto. Thousands of Toronto residents gathered to remember. Everybody wore red poppies on their clothes to show respects to everyone who died during the First and Second world war.
The ceremony was held at 10:45 a.m. The ceremony procession that participants wearing various of uniforms walked around hall frontage. A sombre silence fell in front of Old City Hall at 11 a.m. Despite the large crowd in the normally bustling Oueen St., nothing except the fluttering of flags could be heard during two minutes of silence. Everything was paused. We paused and bowed our head so we could remember pay thanks sued sacrifice soldiers gave. After that, one person led the crowd in prayers of remembrance for the fallen. We saw five airplanes flew over the blue sky.
Every year, we observe all the soldiers with this way. It' s important for all of us to remember is that they fought to preserve a way of life, they fought to make our world a safer place. We should learn to cherish life, work for peace.
