Armistice Day commemorates the signing of the armistice that ended World War I, initially honoring WWI military dead, later recognizing all veterans.
The armistice came into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, marking the end of the four-year conflict.
While Armistice Day often focuses on WWI, Remembrance Day has evolved to commemorate all veterans and war dead, reflecting broader memorialization.
Wearing a poppy symbolizes support for veterans and helps the Royal British Legion continue its vital work for those affected by combat.
