- Why do people wear a red poppy during November? The red poppy has become an important symbol for those who want to remember the people who lost their lives in the First World War...and subsequent wars. The UK poppy appeal raises much needed funds for The British Legion. NOTE - Since the death of Queen Elizabeth II and as of November 2022, King Charles III will lay a wreath at the cenotaph. Remembrance Sunday is on 12th November 2023.

The leaf is in the wrong position (unless this a mirror image), the leaf should be at the 11 o’clock position. It signifies the 11th hour, when the guns fell silent at the end of the Great War.
The poppy is not a political, religious or commercial symbol. I wore my paper poppy and metallic poppy with pride today and observed the 2 minute silence in remembrance of those past and present. Hopefully all British citizens wore their poppy too.
@Vegan Pete Well said.
Actually it is *extremely* political to actively help fund a safety net and pension for the prime minister's imperial volunteers.
Perhaps without such security, many fewer would have kiled and died in the Iraq scam of 2003+.
@Hamish Mctavish 👍
@@beingsshepherd what an disgrace, all veterans should be honored
@@gghost1224 Not by their victims nor the conscientious.
As Peter King mentions. The correct position is To the Left, over the Heart. The Leaf is orientated to be at 11 O’Clock. This signifies the Hour, The Day and the Month…
A perfect lesson. Thank you, Misterduncan.
Today, one hundred years ago. We think about all the soldiers who have fallen, also the one's who died since then for the sake of nothing. Lest we forget.
This is so helpful and good for my students! Specially these days. Thank you!
You are welcome. 8-)
There were no WMD in Iraq and fires don't cause skyscrapers to collapse.
Really interesting that an American came up with the idea of wearing a poppy since we don't really subscribe to that custom in the United States now days.
Thank you! We will always remember...
I L♥️VE MY COUNTRY 🇬🇧.
Nice video and very emotional, thanks for your good work.
By the way, for that reason, that day also celebrates the independence in Poland.
And for religious reasons in many towns of Spain the feast of San Martin.
Well today is REMEMBRANCE DAY (11th November 2021). Lest we forget. 🇬🇧 💂🏻♂️💂🏻♀️
All my loving from Barcelona to all them. 🌺 ❤️
I thought that the poppy was used because it grew in the fields of Flanders and served as a symbol of remembrance
It did. 3:30.
Peace and love to every one ✌️
But coronaviras
Very nice video.
Well said, we are enjoying freedom because they fought for us and give there life.
Couldn't properly hear that through your mandatory face covering.
@@ZXSPEX I'll aim to be more like you 😍
Thank you Mr Duncan, shared on my FB page for my friends abroad
Wow what a fabulous video for explaining why we're wearing a poppy. But is there somebody they can tell me what the music on the background is, it sounds lovely. Please let me know.
Thank you in advance
Thank you!
I'm looking forward to the next lesson =)
thanks for this short story
It’s a show of respect to all the young men who murdered unarmed men women and children in other countries. India , Ireland, Africa, Australia, too many to mention really . Killed robbed raped . No shame .
Skippy Clarke...there’s always one misguided fool who is quite happy airing his views from behind a screen but can’t summon the courage to shout in the face of veterans in person.
If your going to attempt to be a keyboard warrior please don’t just target random countries but add some facts to these acts of ‘mass murder’.
If you wish to concentrate on Ulster then don’t forget to include statistics from republican murder gangs to add weight to your allegations that just the British are murderers.
And obviously encourages more of the same behind a cynical human shield of a world war veteran charity.
May the soul of these great heroes who gave their lives in the Great War.
His name was Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD, 1st Brigade CFA,CEF (Canadian Field Artillery, Canadian Expeditionary Force).
Born in Guelph, Ontario, he was a third generation Canadian by way of Scottish Presbyterian immigrants.He died as OC (Officer Commanding) of the 3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill) at Boulogne, France and, with full honours, was buried there.
In Canada, November 11th is known as Remembrance Day - which is in my view a far more dignified honorific then the frivolous British designation of November 11th as"Poppy Day".
Major McCrae, MD, Medical Officer and Major of the 1st Brigade CFA (Canadian Field Artillery - as he was then) wrote the poem in the back of a field ambulance a few days after his closest friend, Lieutenant Alexis Hannum Helmer, 1st Brigade CFA,CEF, of Hull, Quebec was killed (May 2cn 1915) during Second Battle of Ypres.
I think it a disgraceful insult to the memory of Lieutenant Colonel McCrae (and to all the Canadians) who died in the defence of, not our own country, but of Great Briton, to not use his military title or his nationality when talking about his poem.
thank you man that was great
The leaf on a rememberance poppy, should be pointed to eleven on the dial. A little known fact, as most poppies do not even have a leaf on them these days.
This will insult many but I would never wear a poppy as it doesn't just remember the brave soldiers of WW1 and WW2, but also remembers the actions of British soldiers in Northern Ireland and their murder of civilians there. However I highly respect the British soldiers who served in both World Wars and also observe a minute of silence.
cameron burke ignorance is bliss...at no stage does the poppy ‘remember the actions’ of soldiers in Northern Ireland.
The poppy is a symbol of of all soldiers who have paid the ultimate price.
If you have strong political views about our soldiers serving in NI then do not wear the poppy.
The poppy is not a political symbol so you need to search your sole and either wear it or not it’s that simple
Bloody Sunday, Baghdad, Kabul, Tripoli, Guantanamo bay ...
@@beingsshepherd has nothing to do with the poppy
@@gghost1224 Asserting a denial isn't a very persuasive argument.
What a shame Poppy Lady Madame Guérin isn't mentioned ... she who put the Remembrance Poppy on your lapel.
Not forgetting Moina Michael
May Allah bless n keep in peace all our brothers and sisters who lost their lives for unnecessary wars.
I remember.
Harry and Meghan were wearing them yesterday and today. I wondered why so early? Isn't it November 11th which is Memorial Day?
Mireille B VAVAL People start wearing them and selling them from the 28th of October which is two weeks before November 11th. That is the standard period of rememberance but it is a personal choice and there are no set rules. Some veterans and families who have lost a family member wear them all year round.
oh the half caste
well today is ... REMEMBRANCE DAY (11th November2020)
Rememberance day 2022
i just posted on inside edition that i find strange an other war occured and here and there more others so it may feel like no one care or lake a joke of it......now that we have computer gales and ugly movies ..i think unless we bury all hachettes and recycle all artilleries .....into useful things .....thank you
I liked . Why don´t tell us more about UK history?
Why don't you open a book and learn
Red poppy in Iran is a flower symbolically watered with the blood of ppl like lovers ,martyrs and innocents
And in Afghanistan they're harvested to produce opium and heroin 😞
All true.
Somebody know the name of music used ?
I have a poppy and i like it 😇😇😇😇
Nothing angelic about waterboarding innocent Muslims.
them people who died just respect them and dont be a fool
SUMMERPLAYS ALSO GAMERKJB how is it foolish?
That's right, respect them or be persecuted by us 👊😠
BUDGET TIP!!!! HERE'S A 'TIP": Instead of buying a brand new poppy year after year after year...just save the old one and put it in a little box and pull it out every November (like you would an artificial Christmas Tree) and you're good to go! And you didn't have to break the bank doing so! $$$$$$$$$$
Who breaks the bank purchasing a poppy? I sure in the hell don't. Here's a better idea, buy a new poppy, give a small donation to a worthy cause. Save your poppy for another year, but still give a small silver donation. Don't be cheap.
In these economically testing times it's good to conserve your cash for your Freedom 55 and as well it's bad for the environment to keep wasting money on 'new' stuff when you don't have to. So I believe in recycling the old poppy. :-)
@@claytonk7602 the poppy keeps people who need it in work and the money helps the injured veterans. This collection is once a year, please donate and buy a poppy on line if necessary due to ceremony being cancelled this year, a worthwhile cause in a year we will never forget, 2020.
peace me to you and friends
Peace be upon moussab 🙏
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
Atakan Özkan read my posts above you're brainwashing is astronomical

I wish UA-cam would tell my subscribers when I post a new video.
They don't seem to do it any more.

Why the heck don’t we still do this in the USA
As an American I wear a poppy every day throughout the year. I replace it with a new one on Memorial Day in May.
@Vegan Pete and you're still talking shite! Go away and do some research before spouting anymore of your bullshit propaganda.
Where's your lovely hat, darling?
In America we just put the symbolism in our flag so its already understood saves time
In some place here in the States, we still wear the Poppy. The American Legion and the VFW both pass out poppies still.
I'll only wear a white poppy.
Yes. Elucidate.
Jamie Bales enjoy wearing it as millions of young men died so you can make that choice.
@@MC14may But he can't burn a red one in the street nor social media without being prosecuted by the state 😒
The red poppy is a symbol, not only of rememberance for British war
dead, but also of colonialism and imperialism- and thats why I will not
wear one.
That is okay.
Aye so it is...
I see it as a symbol of obsequiousness, very english and very much of the military mind. I mean you can't get more obsequious than fighting for the ruling class (especially one that still has an archaic monarchy) and then not even expecting them to look after you when you sign up and instead expecting your fellow slavish subjects to do so instead with a charity- truly pathetic!
you are right.fuk useless british
Mutual Aid Works to all the ‘white poppy reactionaries’ on here:
1)Your donation to the white poppy has funded privileged middle-class idiots to jet the world ‘fact-finding’ arms sales.
Not a single penny has gone to a charity to help victims of war.
2) 80 years ago a little man with a black moustache named Hitler made millions of people wear a symbol based on their beliefs and didn’t give them a choice.
This man committed murder and persecution on an industrial scale and was only stopped because people the same age as you decided to make a difference and stop the spread of ‘fascism’.
Sparing you a life under a dictatorship and giving you an opinion.
By all means wear your white poppy but remember this..if you are not a fan of global mass murder I suggest you open your eyes to China,Russia,North Korea,Iran because Imperialist England might one day be calling on you to fight for your freedoms(which you take for granted)
This makes me want a bagel ......
Ahhhh poppy seed bagels
السلام عليكم عربي لايك
purple poppies only
vambo Kennel so war is about animals fighting animals is it?
Once Afghan war ends they can wear Opium poppy as they are being growing everywhere
Its an awful pity that poppy month is over,i am so upset turning on TV and nobody is wearing a a poppy,i think a law needs to be brought in making it an offence not to wear a poppy all year round, in fact clothes manufacturers should be compelled to have a poppy symbol built into the lapel of all clothes,cats and dogs should wear one as well.We have a pet donkey and he wears one all year he goes crazy if you try to take it off him.
sadie power watch all wars are banker wars doc and thrive doc on UA-cam.
Red pill needed sadie
Exactly, those who aren't actively championing freedom should be deprived of it 😤💂💀🔫✈💥💣
#WarIsPeace
want to see more white poppys
Vegan Pete judging by your UA-cam moniker it doesn’t surprise me you wear a white poppy as that’s seen as being trendy too these days isn’t it.
Such a pity you don’t know where your donation goes to though eh?
