The first world war officially ended on 11 November 1918. The following year, in 1919 on the same date , King George V held the first Remembrance Day to honour the 8.5 million people on both sides who lost their lives in WW1. Almost 500,000 British horses, mules, camels and bullocks too were killed in the conflict between 1914 and 1918.
On this day we now commemorate the sacrifices made in every international conflict since.
Known also as Poppy Day in the UK, Remembrance Day also provides a big opportunity for the Royal British Legion to raise much needed funds to help veterans.
Eye-catching fundraising merchandise drives up donations. Over the years the Royal British Legion has expanded its range of items for sale from the traditional lapel poppy to hundreds of different poppy branded items from personalised badges to clothing, stationery and clip on poppy reflectors for dog collars.
