The Menin Gate - Page 3
Every night for the last 80 years, the traffic through the gate is stopped and the ceremonial bugle call, the Last Post, is played. The Last Post sounds something like this (.WAV format sound file). In the cavernous Gate, the call echoes loudly. When I visited, most of the visitors were British school children (curiously, this was true also of the Langemarck cemetery); there were very few young adults or even middle-aged adults, but quite a few older people whose parents may well have fought in the War.
