Below is some information on Remembrance day and why it is important to people in the UK. 

Remembrance Day, also known as Armistice Day, commemorates the end of World War One when an agreement to stop fighting was reached on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month in 1918. It is held to remember all those who have died in wars and marked by a two-minute silence at 11:00am. 

Remembrance Sunday is the nearest Sunday to November 11th, when ceremonies are held in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations and commemorates both World War One and Two and all conflicts since. Poppy flowers are worn as a symbol of remembrance, inspired by the poppies that grew on many battlefields in WW1 - as made famous by the war poem 'In Flanders Fields.' A two-minute silence will be observed at 11:00am on Remembrance Sunday.
