our Rememberance Day is always November 11th but it's never a public holiday, however it is an incredibly well respected day, the British Legion have a poppy appeal in which almost everyone buys a poppy and wears it for a few weeks to commemorate the fallen in all conflicts, and at 11am a 2 minute silence is held all across the country, and pretty much everysingle person sticks to it as the country falls motionless for 2 minutes, they even stop planes landing at major airports, no matter what people are doing they'll stop and remember the dead, then on the nearest sunday (Rememberance Sunday) a televised memorial service is held in Pal Mall i believe, which always attracts high viewing figures, i always try and watch, i think it's because of the fact it's just a silence and not a day off that so many more people reconise it...........
