Last Post at the Menin Gate





In gratitude the people of Ieper perform a Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate at 8.30pm each evening and have done essentially every day pretty much since the end of WW I. There was a hiccup during WWII when it was less regular and done in hiding in nearby woods.

Seraphim sang three pieces at this and there was a short wreath laying.
