The first Poppy Day was held in the United Kingdom on November 11, 1921. It was established to honor soldiers who died in World War I, inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae. The red poppy became a symbol of remembrance, and the tradition has since spread to many countries around the world.
