Mark your calendars for the second Sunday in November, because it's time to honor and remember those who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom on Remembrance Sunday in the United Kingdom. This day has been observed since the end of World War I and is a way to pay tribute to the brave soldiers who fought for our country. It's also a reminder to appreciate the peace and freedom we enjoy today thanks to their bravery and sacrifice. On this day, people wear poppies as a symbol of remembrance and participate in memorial services and parades. Let us all take a moment on this important day to remember and honor those who have given everything for us.
