2. Traditions and symbols of ๐บ Memorial Day
Traditionally, people gather at Whitehall on November 11, where the ๐ธ Queen, ๐จโ๐ผ Politicians, veterans, and everyone else are present. At 11 oโclock the traditional minute of silence begins in honor of the victims, which can last up to two minutes. At this time, poppy petals are poured onto people from the Royal Albert Hall. Then the queen begins laying memorial wreaths to the Cenotaph.
Since 1921, the main symbol of the holiday has been red poppies, which symbolize the ๐ฉธ Blood shed in the war. Initially, people attached live poppies from the fields of Flanders to their clothes on Remembrance Day. This tradition was created by Major George Howson and Field Marshal Douglas Haig. But over time, it became not important what kind of flowers to attach to clothes: live or artificial.
Interesting fact: John McCrae even wrote an ode to the red poppy in the poem โIn the Fields of Flandersโ, and Moina Michael was inspired by him and wrote her own work โWe shall keep the faithโ.
