Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918.
2018 official UK Remembrance Day £5 coin marks the 100 year anniversary of Armistice. The Armistice of 1918, the first step towards ending the horrors of the First World War. It was the armistice that ended fighting on land, sea and air in World War I between the Allies and their last opponent, Germany.
