Remembrance Day commemoration Gozo 2012.
Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day, was recently commemorated in Victoria.
War veterans gathered at Independence Square (It-Tokk) to honour their commrades who died during World War I and World War II.
The celebration started with the reading of commemorative poems by Antoinette Grech and Chev. Chris Galea and excerpts from the Holy Scripture by Fr Peter Francis Chappell, followed by a march past by the Gozitan platoon of the Armed Forces of Malta and the sounding of the Last Post.
The Qala Primary School choir sang various hymns, including the National Anthem, while wreaths were laid at the foot of Christ the King Monument by Gozo Minister, Giovanna Debono and representatives of various groups and organisations in the presence of war veterans and members of the British Legion.
