The daily tribute

This daily tribute - performed by a team of local buglers - serves to honour the memory of the soldiers of the British Empire, who fought and died in the immortal Ypres Salient during the First World War. It is the aim of the Last Post Association to maintain this ceremony in perpetuity.

Book of honour

Visited Ieper for the first time last week and was very impressed by the Last Post Ceremony. I had 2 uncles killed in the 1st W.W. and managed to visit one of their graves and see the other ones name in Tyne Cot cemetery as his body could not be identified. I was amazed and pleased to see this act of remembrance still being carried out to-day. A must for people of a certain age. I would also like to thank the people who ran the tours as they could not have been more helpful, and to the residents of Ieper itself for their cheerful and resilient attitude.
