| The ingredients of the Remembrance Day service – the Cenotaph, the Last Post, the two-minute silence, the marching veterans and the laying of wreaths – have been in place since just after World War I.

This programme reveals the surprising origins and evolution of Remembrance Day, including the protests that greeted it in some parts of the country in its first year. | ||||
