Remembrance Sunday began in the United Kingdom in 1919, one year after the end of World War I. It was established to honor the members of the armed forces who lost their lives in the war. The day is observed on the second Sunday of November each year, coinciding with Armistice Day on November 11. The observance has since expanded to commemorate all military personnel who have died in conflicts since then.
