Remembrance Day Poppies (Dr Murray)
Every year in the days leading up to Remembrance Day on the 11 November, many people choose to wear poppies as a symbol to remember those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world and those who have been killed as a result of terrorism. Remembrance Day marks the day World War One ended, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, in 1918. The reason poppies are used to remember those who have given their lives in battle is because they are the flowers which grew on the battlefields after World War One ended. If you would like to wear a poppy, they are available from the Prefect Base at reception for free or a small donation if you are able.
