The poppy is a familiar symbol,worn by many. One of the few things that survived the battlefields of Northern France during the First World War was the poppy whose bright and cheerful resilience in the face of such horror brought hope and comfort to the soldiers.          

                                    The poppy is worn as a symbol of Remembrance of those who fought and were killed in conflict,as well as those still fighting and giving their lives to-day.  It serves as a reminder for use to value the Peace and Freedom we enjoy.

                                  The act of a Two Minute Silence began on the anniversary or Armistice Day in 1919. In 1921 The Royal British Legion was formed and " Remembrance Day"  was formally adopted as a national day of Remembrance.

                                Millions of people stop what they are doing and observe a Two Minute Silence at 11:00am on 11th November each year in memory of those who have died an all conflicts.
