Remembrance Sunday is a national day of
remembrance for those killed in both world
wars and later conflicts. Before
1956 it was called Armistice Day. In
Canada, as in the UK, the 11th of November
is called Remembrance Day and in the US
its equivalent is Veterans Day. |
Poppies,
symbolic of the blood shed, are sold in aid of
war invalids and their dependants. They are
chosen as a symbol of remembrance because those
flowers bloomed on French, Belgian and Italian
fields even during the fiercest battles of the
wars. Remembrance Sunday is observed by a
two-minute silence at the time of the signature
of the armistice: 11:00 am, 11th November 1918
(although since 1956 the day of commemoration
has been the Sunday). On this day wreaths of
poppies are laid on war memorials and in gardens
of remembrance in countries around the world.
The British monarch lays a wreath at the
Cenotaph, the memorial in Whitehall, in London
on the morning of Remembrance Sunday and two
minutes silence is observed from 11am.
