11th November 1918. This day in history - End of the Great War-

I have seen many people today with a poppy and one of the guys have explained to me the meaning, I am sure I have studied it in British culture but I didn´t remember at all!

November is the time of the year when British people wear a red poppy in memory of those who sacrificed their lives for British people during wars.

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11th November 1918, to signal the end of World War One.

At 11 am on 11 November 1918 the guns of the Western Front fell silent after more than four years continuous warfare.

What is Remembrance Day?

Remembrance Day is on 11 November.

It is a special day set aside to remember all those men and women who were killed during the two World Wars and other conflicts.

At one time the day was known as Armistice Day and was renamed Remembrance Day after the Second World War. Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is usually the Sunday nearest to 11 November. Special services are held at war memorials and churches all over Britain.
