A ceremony has honored the memory of the 56 British soldiers buried in Bulgaria during the First World War. British Ambassador to Bulgaria Emma Hopkins, charge d'affaires at the Embassy of Ireland, Patrick Coleman, and chaplain Patrick Irwin, who arrived specially for the occasion from England, laid flowers on each grave. Every year at 11 a.m. on November 11th, Britain honors the memory of its fallen warriors. Remains of British soldiers from the First World War lie in the cemeteries of the Bulgarian cities of Sofia and Plovdiv.
