Each year the United Kingdom remembers all those who have given their lives in the service of their country, at a ceremony on the anniversary of the Armistice that ended the First World War, 11 November. In Estonia, this ceremony takes place in Tallinn’s Defence Forces Cemetery, at the graveside of some of the British servicemen who lost their lives during the First World War and when supporting Estonia’s fight for independence.
I would like to invite you to join the team from the Embassy at our Remembrance Day Ceremony at Tallinn’s Military Cemetery, Filtri tee 14, on Saturday 11 November. The Ceremony will begin at 10:45 so please arrive no later than 10:35. The Embassy will be laying a wreath as will representatives of the Estonian Defence Forces. You are welcome to lay your own wreath. I hope you will also join us for soup and bread at the Cemetery, after the ceremony.
