November 2018 marked a significant moment around the globe, observing the centenary of the Armistice that brought the First World War to a close. This international series of events served as a culmination of four years of commemorations, which had commenced in 2014, remembering the wider centenary period of the war.

Alongside established annual observances like Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, a variety of gatherings took place worldwide. Notable occasions included peace forums and significant international meetings. In the United Kingdom, a service of thanksgiving was held, while other military ceremonies and remembrance events occurred across the Commonwealth and beyond, reflecting the widespread participation in the conflict.
