Need to arrive in time to watch/hear the last post sounded.The Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate takes place every evening at 8:00 PM (20:00), without fail. Here's what you can expect: 1. Crowds gather: At around 7:00 PM, people begin to gather under and around the Menin Gate.For the best spots, either stand on the steps leading up to the gate for a slightly elevated view, or if you prefer more space, stand on the left‑hand side (looking towards the town). Most action, including wreath laying, happens on the right, so being opposite offers a good overall view, and is often less crowded.. Arrival of the buglers: At exactly 7:55 PM, members of the local Ypres Fire Brigade, dressed in their smart uniforms, march from the opposite side of the gate and take up their positions under the archway. During and after the war, fire brigades often had a role in clearing battlefields.3. Introduction: Often, a representative from the Last Post Association will give a brief welcome and explain the purpose of the ceremony to the crowd.4. Playing of the Last Post: This is the core of the ceremony. The buglers raise their instruments and play the "Last Post”. A short bugle call is a traditional military signal, originally used to mark the end of the day, when patrols had returned and all "lights out" duties were completed. In remembrance, it signifies the end of a soldier's day, and indeed, their life. Its mournful, haunting melody is incredibly moving.5. Moment of silence: Following the “Last Post”, there is a minute of silence. It’s during this quiet that the weight of history and the sacrifice of so many can truly be felt.6. Playing of “Reveille” (or a Lament): Sometimes, a second bugle call, "Reveille," is played. Reveille is a traditional military signal for waking up and the start of a new day. Played after the “Last Post”, it can symbolise hope, renewal, and the idea that while lives were lost, their memory lives on. Bagpipes might also play a lament (a mournful piece of music).https://www.nstgroup.co.uk/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-last-post-ceremony-at-menin-gate#:~:text=The%20Last%20Post%20Ceremony%20at%20Menin%20Gate%20takes%20place%20every,and%20around%20the%20Menin%20Gate.

https://visitwallonia.com/en-gb/3/where-to-go/walloon-towns-and-cities/tournai?cookie_lang=en-gbTournai is a city in western Belgium, near the French border. It’s known for the huge Cathedral of Notre-Dame, with 5 towers and a rose window. Nearby, the Grand Place is a triangular square lined with bars and restaurants. It’s dominated by the 12th-century Belfry of Tournai, with views over the city. Opposite the belfry is the Romanesque St. Quentin’s Church, and behind that is the medieval Red Fort tower.
