Today in the UK is November 11th, known as 'Remembrance Day' or Armistace Day' when we remember the dead from all the wars. At the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month.

We buy poppys which are sold by the Royal British Legion, the money goes to charities to help provide for the families of those killed or injured serving the country.
