The Last Post ceremony took place for the 33,000th time on Monday evening in Ypres (West Flanders).

The Last Post is a short ceremony which is held every day in the Belgian city of Ypres in honour of British and Commonwealth servicemen who fell on the battlefield during the First World War.

All the members of the Last Post Association were invited to mark the occasion, as well as a bagpiper.

Some 55,000 names of fallen soldiers are written on the Menin Gate in Ypres. The aim of the Last Post Association is for a ceremony to be held to honour each and every one of them, so the 33,000th edition is far from being the buglers' last.
