What Is Remembrance Day?
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Day commemorates the day World War One ended, at 11am on November 11, in 1918. Each Remembrance Day, a two-minute silence is held at 11am in the U.K. to honor the lives lost during wars. It is customary to wear a poppy flower and dress in Black during Remembrance Day. Politicians and Members of the Royal Family attend memorial services each year to show respect to the memory of the war victims.
