    Remembrance Day is observed on November 11th to commemorate those who have died in war. It marks the end of World War I in 1918. In the UK and other Commonwealth countries, there is a two minute silence at 11am to honor the fallen, and people often attend ceremonies at local war memorials or cenotaphs. The red poppy has become a symbol of Remembrance Day, with people wearing poppies in the weeks leading up to November 11th and wreaths being laid at cenotaphs on that day. The poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae also reflects on the sacrifices made in war.
