Poppy Day, also known as Remembrance Day, falls on November 11th because it marks the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I. The armistice was signed at 11am on November 11, 1918, hence the significance of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It's a day to honor and remember those who have served and sacrificed in wars.
