POPPY DAY
November is the
time of the year when the British wear a red poppy in memory of those
who sacrificed their lives for them during wars.
The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.
Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War.
Remembrance Day is also known as Poppy Day,
because it is traditional to wear an artificial poppy. They are sold by
the Royal British Legion, a charity dedicated to helping war veterans.
