November 14.
Remembrance Sunday commemorates the end of the First World War. The War ended on the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month, IE 11:00 on 11th November 1918. We pay our respect on the Sunday at churches and cenotaphs around the country.
Remembrance Day (Poppy Day) in Commonwealth countries is November 11. In New Zealand, France, Belgium, Serbia, and the US, it is called Veterans Day. Remembrance Sunday is the nearest Sunday to Poppy Day.
Because that's when the war started.
Remembrance Day (11th November), and also Remembrance Sunday (the following Sunday). It is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice on the 11th November 1918, which ended World War I.
I'm just wondering if you are mixing Remembrance Day up with Remembrance Sunday. In the United Kingdom, although two minutes of silence is observed on 11 November itself, the main observance is on the second Sunday of November, Remembrance Sunday. Ceremonies are held at local war memorials. Along with a big parade in London.
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, the Sunday nearest to 11 November (Armistice Day), which is the anniversary of the end of the hostilities of the First World War at 11 am in 1918, "to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts"
Its on the 11/11/10 and it starts at 11am
Yes it is, because it reminds us of those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.
Where like a pink poppy kind of thing or regular pink will do
