Ypres or Ieper

8th July 2024

Gill wanted to visit the Menin Gate and my great, great uncle’s grave site. The Menin Gate is totally covered in scaffolding at the moment, So I’v upload a picture off the web below.

At the Menin Gate they have a ceremony every day at 8:00 pm where they play the last post and lay a wreath. The day we were there, my guess was there was somewhere around 500 plus people. They have been doing this every day since 2nd July 1927.

The Menin Gate was packed inside and out with people. I thought I’d upload our video as is.
