Armistice Day in Britain is a huge deal. People have been buying poppies for over a month.
Two minutes silence at 11. Always is. To remember all the people who have died in the two world wars and since. |

It's a big deal in Canada.
EVERYONE wears poppies, schools have assemblies, there is the 2 minute silence at 11 EVERYWHERE (schools, workplaces etc.)
This morning I was woken up by a canon going off, and I looked out my window, there was a huge congregation of people at the commemorating statue across the street from me (even though it was pouring out).
Meh, I have never personally taken it as a big deal, but everyone around me does, so I show my respect. |
