Why do you have a poppy to symbolise remembrance day?
Poppies are worn on Remembrance day as a sign of respect to commemorate those who fought at war. A couple of years after WWI poppies grew in flanders fields and were the only things that would grow. So people started wearing them on rememberance day (11th of the 11th). Then the British Legion – who cares for veterans and those severly injured by war – started the poppy appeal for people to wear poppies as a sign of remembrance and respect.
