Talk:Remembrance Sunday

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Is the Sunday nearest to 11th November always the second Sunday in November (as noted in the linked Remembrance Day article)? If so, it would be a good idea to specify this here too. Madda 23:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, I think this is a mathematical certainty.. I think... If the 1st was a Sunday then the next would be the 8th and 15th so the 11th would be the Wednesday and the nearest Sunday would be the second of the month. Likewise, if the first Sunday was the 6th then the following wold be the 13th and so would be taken as Remembrance Sunday... Whichever way you cut it, the 2nd Sunday is always the closest. I hope that makes sense even if it is a year late........... ktn7981Ktn7981 23:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Beethoven" Funeral March

The march used at the Cenotaph isn't the one from the Eroica Symphony; it's #13 in his Werke ohne Opuszahl, and (despite being traditionally credited to Beethoven) was actually written by Johann Walch. I'm therefore killing the link to the article on the Eroica Symphony. 82.36.26.70 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:50, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
