Tonny, playing the Last Post since 23 years #InFlandersFields

"We've played the Last Post just over 30,000 times now. There are over 55,000 names on the Menin Gate, so we are well over halfway to saluting every soldier. We'll do them all. And then we'll probably start again." Tonny Desodt is one of the buglers of the Last Post Association. Every evening since 1928, they have been playing the Last Post beneath the Menin Gate in Ypres, Flanders Fields. It's an eternal tribute to the fallen of the First World War. In the lead up to November 11th 2018, VISITFLANDERS made a series, with stories from people in Flanders Fields, who are passionate about keeping the spirit of remembrance for the Great War alive today, and in all the years to come.

We don’t do this by ourselves. Together with our tourism partners, we work to allow Flanders to flourish as an innovative, high-quality travel destination and to inspire potential visitors to put the region at the top of their bucket lists. Our ultimate goal? Using tourism to help Flanders flourish as a destination! We do so both for our residents and entrepreneurs and for you, our visitors. We pay special attention to sustainability, accessibility and family-friendliness. We focus on the intense experience of a place, a destination. This can involve meaningful encounters, specific activities or a sustainable travel formula. Instead of concentrating on a specific city or region, we develop broader Flemish narratives based on interdependent themes. Wherever possible, we combine these themes to further strengthen people’s experience.
