Stockton-on-Tees, England - April 09, 2015: Close up of artificial poppies on remembrance wreaths laid out at a War Memorial in the town of Stockton-on-Tees, England. Poppies are the emblem of Remembrance Day, the 11th of November, which was Armistice Day in 1918, marking the end of World War One in Europe. The poppy was chosen as the flower which bloomed first across some of the worst battlefields of the war, and has since come to represent the remembrance of all those in the allied armed forces who fought and died during both world wars and other conflicts.

$The poppy is the enduring symbol of remembrance of the First World War. It is strongly linked with Armistice Day (11 November), but the poppy's origin as a popular symbol of remembrance lies in the landscapes of the First World War.\n\nPoppies were a common sight, especially on the Western Front. They flourished in the soil churned up by the fighting and shelling. The flower provided Canadian doctor John McCrae with inspiration for his poem 'In Flanders Fields', which he wrote whilst serving in Ypres in 1915.\n\nArtificial poppies were first sold in Britain in 1921 to raise money for the Earl Haig Fund in support of ex-servicemen and the families of those who had died in the conflict. They were supplied by Anna Guérin, who had been manufacturing the flowers in France to raise money for war orphans. Selling poppies proved so popular that in 1922 the British Legion founded a factory - staffed by disabled ex-servicemen - to produce its own. It continues to do so today.$
