In 1921, the poppy was adopted as a symbol of remembrance. By December 1922, military members had permission to wear it when in uniform on Armistice Day. Canadians now wear the poppy for #RemembranceDay to honour our veterans. #CanadaRemembers https://t.co/jA2uO1TbWm

Today's Armistice Day. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns fell silent. The war memorial at Blaxhall, Suffolk is by Ellen Rope, aunt to Margaret Agnes and Margaret Edith, the stained glass artists. Blaxhall was the Rope family parish. 1/3 #ArmisticeDay https://t.co/YKuQiFqIhc
