The day began before 6 a.m. while the morning mist still hugged the hills around Grahamstown and the sun was struggling to break through the cloud cover.
This was when a group of four pipers and two drummers gathered at the 1820 Settlers’ Monument that overlooks the town to join in a world-wide commemoration of the signing of the armistice a hundred years ago.

It’s amazing to be able to see, and even watch, remembrances of the armistice from several places across the globe. The war to end all wars–alas, wishful thinking.
