When does The Poppy Appeal 2018 end? When was London Poppy Day, where can you make a donation, and who are the Royal British Legion?
REMEMBRANCE Day 2018 here today and red poppies are everywhere you look.
Here's everything you need to know about Britain's biggest commemoration, including where to get a poppy and how to get involved.
When died the 2018 Poppy Appeal start and when does it end?
The Poppy Appeal officially started on Thursday, October 25.
Remembrance Sunday is today, November 11 with the Cenotaph Service at Whitehall in London.
Though the paper poppies are the most widely recognised, you can also buy poppy badges in silk, felt, sterling silver and many other variations.
In 2014, nearly 900,000 ceramic poppies were installed at the Tower of London to mark 100 years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
The major art installation, titled Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red, was created by artists Paul Cummins and Tom Piper, and the poppies were bought by lucky bidders afterwards, raising £8million for six different charities.
The Weeping Window sculpture, which was also initially installed outside the Tower of London in 2014, has since toured the country, and returned 100 years after the armistice to adorn the Imperial War Museum until 18 November.
Who are the Royal British Legion?
The Royal British Legion is a registered charity providing lifelong support for the Armed Forces community - serving men and women, veterans and their families.
The first Poppy Appeal was held in 1921, which was the founding year of The Royal British Legion.
During the very first commemoration event, poppies were made in red silk and inspired by the famous First World War poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae.
The poppies sold out instantly and raised more than £106,000, with the funds helping WW1 veterans find employment and housing after the war.
Offering advice and support after military service, the charity urges us: "Don't just wear a poppy for the memory of the fallen, wear it for the future of the living."
