Remembrance Day.

'Remembrance Day'  (also known as Poppy Day or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries on 11 November to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. The day was specifically dedicated by King George V on 7 November 1919 as a day of remembrance for members of the armed forces who were killed during World War I. The red remembrance's poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I, their brilliant red colour an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.
