Remembrance Day commemorates the pivotal event of the end of World War I and honors those who lost their lives in military service. Observed on November 11 each year, it marks the anniversary of the Armistice, which ended the fighting on the Western Front in 1918. The day is characterized by various ceremonies, including moments of silence and the laying of wreaths at war memorials, to pay tribute to fallen soldiers. The symbolism of the poppy, inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields," epitomizes the sacrifice made during the war.
