Attend The Last Post Ceremony
Every evening at 8 o’clock without fail, the Ypres sky fills with the sounds of clarions coming from the Menin Gate. It is here, under the memorial the Brits built in 1927, that a moving ceremony honors the Allied soldiers who lost their lives in the Ypres Salient while defending Belgium’s freedom. The Last Post is free to attend by anyone, and those who apply in advance can take part by laying a wreath to commemorate the fallen.
