It is a mark of respect. The Poppy represents the fallen in times of war because after World War One the fields which used to have the trenches in them grew thousands of poppies. It is believed that the growth of the poppies is linked to the rotting corpses left behind from the war. Therefore every year we wear poppies to remember those who died for our country in any conflict. The money raised from selling the poppies is used to look after veterans and injured soldiers.
