Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy Day, is commemorated on November 11th each year to honor military personnel who have died in wars. It marks the anniversary of the end of World War I in 1918. Traditionally, a two minute silence is observed at 11am and many people wear red poppies, which became a symbol of remembrance after growing on World War I battlefields. Remembrance Day is used to remember those who have died in all wars and continues to be an important tradition.
