Last Post Association

Every day at 20:00, last post is played. Local and international schools attend to take part. Very moving.

The powerful Last Post Ceremony. Even when the Menin Gates are shrouded in a cloth this ceremony will touch your heart. We arrived about 20 minutes before the ceremony was due to start and there was plenty of space. We are inside the gate. You will receive instructions on appropriate behaviour and how to be respectful. There will also be one minutes silence and the laying of wreaths. Lest we Forget. No More War! Give Peace A Chance. Thank you to the people of Ypres for never forgetting.

Thank you for your continuous reminder ever night never forget I had the most amazing humbling experience

If you're gonna go anywhere in Ypres go here. (At 8pm.) Irregardless of whether you have an interest in the war the war, the ceremony at 8pm is a must watch. It's a once in a lifetime for people who live in a different country and to experience the dedication and art of all parties involved makes you appreciate all the soldiers that died fighting for others (those from your own country and the opposing). Such a great atmosphere, giving you a lost in time type of feel as you stand watching and listening to the trumpets, marches and speeches in the yellow-hued night.

Many thanks to these folks and the presentation at the Menin Gate. Even with children on field trips, they manage to convey an appropriate and powerful message.

Still impressing remembrance event of WW1 since 1928 every evening at 20:00 h.

First Class organisation who oversee the daily act of remembrance in Ypres at the Menin Gate. This nightly act takes place at 8pm with buglers from the local Volunteer Fire Service. Dignified service and not to be missed in Ieper.

Heart warming and emotional to know it still goes on every night at 8pm. Amazed at the amount of people attending and to see those ex-forces personnel & civilians putting down wreaths. If you have not been, put it in your calendar.
