Description

The traffic at the Menin gate in Ypres is brought to a brief standstill at 8 pm on the dot, evening after evening. This is when you will hear the melancholy and moving sound of the clarion of the Last Post, which was originally a trumpet signal from the British army. The serving officer on site would check whether all the sentries were at their post. After his inspection it was a tradition, during the 17th and 18th century, to sound the bugle, announcing the end of the day and heralding the night. A confirmation of peace and quiet.
