The Christmas Truce signified a time of peace and unity during the first Christmas of WW1, when both Germans and the British soldiers laid their weapons aside and formed a mutual, momentary truce in amidst of the horrors of the war...
"The German soldiers were exposed by the light, their weapons nowhere to be seen, and from their trenches came the sound of a Christmas carol whose melody was profoundly familiar to British ears.
And so, as the Germans sang Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht!,the British joined in; Silent Night! Holy Night! they sang. In time, soldiers from both sides emerges from their defences and walked - unarmed - into no-mans land. There they sang, exchanged greetings and gifts, some even playing football, and took part in what has to be the most powerful Christmas ever."
The evening will be paying a special tribute to all the lives lost during the Great World War 1 and to celebrate the peace that the soldiers fought to achieve for Britain.
