I’ve seen this before and even though the Menin Gate was under repair, it hadn’t lost any of the solemnity and power. It’s important to thank those who play and those who organise it. Those watching were respectful as were those who brought poppy wreaths. It was lovely to see young people as well as an army squad. We will remember them.

Absolutely fantastic Ypres was busy and the Menin Gate was being refurbished but the event was excellent with a visiting military choir. I'd seen the normal service before and wasn't expecting the extra events. Proud of our men and women from another time.

You cannot visit the area and not attend. Very poignant. Beautiful words and music. We attended twice - one evening was very quiet and the other was incredibly busy so worth arriving early to get a good spot so you can clearly see. A wonderful way to remember.

A visit to experience this should be on everyone’s bucket list. A moving and lasting tribute to the fallen in the Great War. Always attracts a large crowd so get there early for a good view. If not, still worth going to hear the Last Post.

We went on a shearings coach trip to Leper in Belgium to visit the Last Post ceremony in the archway with all the names of all the heroes who died for our countries freedom in the last war. Their names are all on the walls lest we forget. There were many families that were there to witness the scenes, heard the words , saw the local schools and others laying wreaths in respect. What a wonderfull sight and sounds.
