Marking the historic agreement that ended the First World War at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" in 1918, this day has grown into a profound moment of global reflection, particularly across the Commonwealth. Poignant traditions, such as the wearing of the red poppy, a resilient flower that bloomed across the scarred battlefields of Flanders, and the observance of a two-minute silence at 11:00 AM, serve as powerful reminders of the immense human cost of war.
