Well Dwight, Armistice Day is November 11th - no changing that, so our beloved leaders kept the name the same.
We also have Remembrance Day, or Remembrance Sunday, which is the 2nd Sunday in November. This is when all War Dead are remembered, with laying of wreaths at the Cenotaph by the Queen and rest of the Royal Family. Massed Bands play and parade. Veterans parade and march. So we "celebrate" the 2 dates.
ps....we don't need no excuses!!
