Guyana on Sunday joined countries around the world in honouring the men and women who lost their lives in the two World Wars, as President Irfaan Ali led the annual Remembrance Day commemoration and laid a wreath at the War Memorial Cenotaph in Georgetown.
The ceremony, held at the junction of Main and Church Streets, brought together members of the Guyana Defence Force, other uniformed services, government officials, members of the diplomatic corps and representatives of the public to pay tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of peace and freedom.

The observance also provided an opportunity to remember Guyanese who served in the conflicts, many of whom left their homes in what was then British Guiana to join military forces overseas.
