REMEBERANCE DAY

Every year , on the eleventh of November , we remember the people who fought and died in wars to keep us safe. We remember them by wearing a flower called the red poppy.

world war 1 lasted for four years , from 1914 - 1918. It was called the great war because almost every country in the world was at war.

Many people were hurt or killed in the in the fighting that took place in Europe.

In the springtime , thousands of red poppies grew on the battlefields and by the soldiers' graves.

At 11 a.m. , on 11 november 1918 , the war stopped. the world was at peace again.

today, on remembrence Day, poppies are sold and worn to raise money for the people who have been affected by war.

We also stopfor 1 minute's silence to remember and honour the people who helped us to be at peace.
