==Other ceremonies== From 1919 until 1945, [[Armistice Day]] observance was always on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the [[Second World War]] in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday. In 2006, then [[Chancellor of the Exchequer]] [[Gordon Brown]] proposed that in addition to Remembrance Sunday, a new national day to celebrate the achievements of veterans should be instituted. The "Veterans Day", to be held in the summer, would be similar to [[Veterans Day (United States)|Veterans Day]] celebrations in the United States. This has now been renamed "[[Armed Forces Day (United Kingdom)|Armed Forces Day]]", to include currently serving troops to Service families, and from veterans to cadets. The first "Armed Forces Day" was held on 27 June 2009. Submariners hold an additional remembrance walk and ceremony on the Sunday before Remembrance Sunday, which has [[The Submariners Memorial]] on London's [[Victoria Embankment]] as its focal point.
