Powerful & Moving Ceremony to Honour the Dead of WWI
Last Post ceremony的点评
点评：It is incredible to think that every day since 1927, this ceremony takes place at 8pm under the arches of the Menin Gate to honour the dead of WWI. It’s an incredibly powerful and moving experience.
We’d been forewarned to get there early so we arrived about half an hour beforehand. This was not early enough to get a good viewing position. We were several rows back, standing shoulder to shoulder with others and could only see the buglers and the wreath-laying through small gaps in the crowd. It might be different in winter but in summer, you’d need to arrive a lot earlier to get a front row spot. However I’m not sure that it matters a lot. It’s the mournful sound of the buglers playing the Last Post that is the most moving and emotional part.
We listened as we looked at row after row of names that cover the walls around us. There are over 54,000 names. These are the men who died in the Ypres Salient and have no known grave. If you didn’t realise the sheer scale of the sacrifice, this is a very powerful image.
The ceremony is surprisingly short. It starts with the arrival of the buglers who take up their positions in the centre of the arch. An official announcement and a brief explanation of the ceremony was given, then the "Last Post” was played and a minute of silence was called for. You could have heard a pin drop. The sense of history and the weight of past sacrifice was overwhelming. Afterwards, a couple of groups stepped quietly forward to lay a wreath.

翻译：想想真是不可思议，自1927年以来，每天晚上8点，这场纪念一战阵亡将士的仪式都会在梅宁门的拱门下举行。这真是一次震撼人心、感人至深的经历。
我们事先被告知要早点到，所以提前了大约半小时就到了。但这个时间不够早，没能抢到好的观看位置。我们坐在后面几排，和其他人肩并肩站着，只能透过人群中的缝隙看到号手们和敬献花圈的场景。冬天可能不一样，但夏天的话，你需要早点到才能抢到前排的位置。不过，我觉得这没什么关系。号手们吹奏《最后的岗位》的哀乐才是最动人、最令人动容的部分。
我们一边聆听，一边看着墙上一排排的名字。超过54000个名字。这些是伊普尔突出部阵亡的将士，他们至今仍无葬身之地。如果你还没意识到这场祭祀的规模，这张照片会给你留下深刻的印象。
仪式出奇地简短。首先是号手们抵达拱门中央，就位。随后，官方宣布并简要介绍了仪式内容，然后演奏了《最后的岗位》，并要求默哀一分钟。你甚至可以听到一根针掉在地上的声音。历史的厚重感和过去牺牲的沉重感令人震撼。之后，几组人静静地走上前来，献上花圈。
