The First World War officially ended on the eleventh hour on the eleventh day on the eleventh month, 1918 - Armistice Day. Today it's often known as Remembrance Day or Poppy Day and a two minute's silence is held for the fallen in all conflicts since this date. In the UK and other Commonwealth members, a poppy is worn out of respect for those that gave their lives so we can live ours freely.
