Poppy Day, also known as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day, is observed on November 11 each year. It commemorates the end of World War I in 1918 and honors military personnel who lost their lives in conflicts. The red poppy flower, inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields” by John McCrae, has become a symbol of remembrance. On Poppy Day, people wear red poppies as a tribute to fallen soldiers. Ceremonies are held at war memorials, and a moment of silence is observed at 11 a.m. to reflect on the sacrifices made by members of the armed forces throughout history.
