Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month".
Traditionally people in the United Kingdom observe two minute's silence at 11:00 to commemorate the sacrifice made by the nation's soldiers.
Last week at Studio Cambridge we celebrated another day of remembrance on 5 November, Guy Fawkes Night.
Every year in Cambridge there is a large fireworks display on Midsummer Common and Studio Cambridge organises an annual visit to watch the show!
As you can see, it was an impressive display!
Midsummer Common was packed. Estimated attendance was 25,000!
Studio students illuminated by the warm glow of the fireworks.
Definitely scarf and hat weather on Bonfire Night!

More Studio students enjoying the festive atmosphere!
What a spectacle!
Richard from Student Services watches on...
... at what is agreed by many to be the finest display yet!
Overall a great night was had by all! Many thanks to all who attended and especially to our students who helped take many of the pictures used for this blog. Maybe next year we'll be seeing you at the fireworks display?
