"Poppy day" is a name for "remembrance day". It takes place on the 11th November and is a day dedicated to the victims of war, particularly the first world war. Poppys have become associated with remembrance because they were supposedly the first flower to grow over the trenches in France and Belgium. At 11 o'clock on remembrance day there is a 1 or 2 minute silence to show respect for the fallen. Charities who give support to injured or shellshocked soldiers and their families sell paper poppies in the run up to the day, which people pin to their clothes or poke through button holes.
