A sea of red poppies, as thousands commemorate the 104th Remembrance Day

REMEMBRANCE DAY- A minute of silence will be held across many nations in honour of those who have fallen during World War 1.

Thousands of people will gather to show their respects for those who fought for the freedom they live in today.

The U.S. Ambassador to Australia and daughter of former American President John F. Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy gave a powerful message.

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them”
Lest we forget.

Tributes from leaders around the world are flooding in, as they pay respect to the men and women who lost their lives in the line of duty.

My grandfather, Jimmy Sinclair, was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Air Force – having served in the 417 Squadron during the Second World War. And as we wear our poppies ahead of Remembrance Day, I’m dedicating this digital poppy to him. #GetYourPoppy #CanadaRemembers pic.twitter.com/2kMZgljFTI

In Sydney, the iconic Opera House has been lit in red poppies in a show of respect.

Why the red poppy?

Red poppies are an iconic symbol of Remembrance Day, representing the first World War in 1918.

The Flanders poppy was the first plant to appear in Battlefields following the war. They symbolise the sacrifice of blood shed by soldiers.

It is now widely known as the flower of remembrance and is displayed in many war memorials and shrines.
