What do the red flowers stand for that the newscasters are wearing on BBC news?
They are poppies, every year in October and November on the run up to Remembrance Sunday (the closest Sunday to Armistice Day on Nov 11) millions are sold by a veterans charity called The Royal British Legion to raise funds to help ex-servicemen. Since their introduction in 1921 they have become a symbol of remembrance for those who fought and died for our country. The Poppy was chosen because during the first world war in the battlefields of France , poppies grew amongst the devastation where soldiers had fallen, their bright colour standing out against the scorched land. It is also used as a symbol of remembrance in Canada and New Zealand. http://www.britishlegion.org.uk

Why do people in England wear poppy?
It's not just in England. People in France and Canada do it as well as in other countries. The reason is because in WWI, there was a huge battle in Flander's Fields; one of the bloodiest battles ever. Everything was destroyed in that battle, homes, buildings etc. Thousands of soldiers lost their lives. The only thing that survived the battle were poppies. Many of the soldiers who died were buried in poppy fields as well. To remember the brave soldiers who gave their lives, people in these and other countries wear poppies on Remembrance Day (Nov. 11th). There is a famous poem about the poppies, titled "In Flander's Fields" by John McCrae. You should look it up. It's really sad. :(
