Remembrance Day

POPPY APPEAL Ever wondered what a Poppy on your lapel means? On November 11th we celebrate the Armistice Day, if you watch the news on that day you'll see H.M. the Queen of England paying homage to the British Troops laying a wreath of poppies at the foot of the Cenopath . Common British, Canadian, South African, and ANZAC traditions include two minutes of silence at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month (11:00 am, 11 November), as that marks the time (in the United Kingdom) when armistice became effective.
