What does the queen do on remembrance Sunday?

On Remembrance Sunday, the Queen, or the reigning monarch, traditionally participates in commemorative events to honor those who have died in military service. This includes laying a wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, during a solemn ceremony attended by veterans and members of the armed forces.

This annual event emphasizes the nation's gratitude and remembrance for the fallen.

Why do some veterans refuse to wear the poppy?

Commonest reason I guess is "cant be bothered". But of the active non-wearers, the argument seems to center on not wanting to appear to support either existing wars or war centric policies of past governments, or more generally wish to avoid glorification of war. This is simpleminded tosh. Wear a poppy to commemorate those who died. They didn't have a choice. Their sacrifice was not a moral or political position made real. They were then the victims of political, moral, or human failure. Wear it to remember the individual dead, nothing else. And thank God we can no longer be required die for our political donkeys.

When is it correct to begin wearing a Remembrance poppy?

There is no right or wrong time to begin wearing one.

The poppies usually begin going on sale about the 1st or 2nd of November, depending on geographical location. Many people will wear them as soon as they buy them.
However "traditionalists" claim the best time to start wearing a poppy is from the 2nd November until the 12th November.

Remembrance Day itself is on the 11th November. The Remembrance ceremony takes place at 11am. In other words, the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month, which commemorates Armistice Day.
