The Victorian Days are always really successful and engage the whole community.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>He added that while Armistice Day is a good opportunity to remember all those who have fallen, it is also nice to pay tribute with events all year round.<\/p>\n<p>People from shops and restaurants dressed up in 1940s clothing for the day, while a host of entertainment options were also on offer from
