Remembrance day or Poppy Day is is recognised to remember the victims of World War I. To remember the fallen one poppy for every British casualty (888,246 poppies in total) are planted around the Tower of London. Each one is hand made and thus different. The red is a symbol for the blood spilled in the war. Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th dat of the 11th month" and Remembrance Day is hence on November 11th.
