The Remembrance Day is a moment in time that has become a palindrome memorial. It is observed yearly on November 11th to recall the official end of World War I on 1918. It goes that hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.).

In the UK, the Royal British Legion is the nation's custodian of Remembrance Day, ensuring that people remember those who have given their lives for the freedom we enjoy today. The poppy brilliant red colour has become an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.
