In November the British people have a special holiday - Remembrance Day. It is held on the second Sunday in November every year. On this day the Dritish wear a red poppy in memory of people who fought for their country during the two World Wars and died.
So Remembrance Day is often called Poppy Day. There are usually special services at war memorials and churches in cities, towns and villages all over the country.
At 11 o'clock on each Remembrance Day there is a two minutes silence in Britain. People remember those who died during the wars and conflicts and think how terrible war is. The Royal British Legion sells red paper poppies which people wear on their coats. Later, the money from the poppies is given to war veterans.
