Armistice Day was commemorated at the Gore Cenotaph on Saturday. Every year on November 11, at 11am, the end of World War 1 is marked and those who served in war time and gave their lives for their nation are remembered. The Ensign asked two pupils from St Mary’s School why they thought it was important to mark the day.
