The last Post

• One iconic part of this service is The Last Post,
• Played before the silence.
• This is either played on the bugle or trumpet
• Its origins date back to the 1790s, when the call would be sounded at the end of the day in camp
• It signalled to the soldiers that camp was safe for the night,
• In the 1850s, The Last Post began being used in a different way.
• If there were no military band members available during overseas combat, The Last Post would be played when soldiers died by the regimental bugler.
• It is used in funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest 
• Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth of Nations
