"...or something like that."? You don't even know what they are there for, do you?
Its called Remembrance Day in the UK ...the flowers they are wearing are poppies symbolising the over 700,000 killed and over a million wounded in the First World War. Excluding recent immigrants every family in the UK lost a relative or family friend in that war. It is a solemn and deeply emotional day for the British.
Then someone like you comes along who is completely ignorant but who is proud to display it. I suppose such a thing would not mean very much to an immature no-nothing like you but to those in the world who still have a heart and not a cheap made in China video game inside them in place of a soul would have tears at such a ceremony on such a day.
I am going to suppose you are an American. While you may be proudly ignorant of your own nation's history please don't make a bigger fool than you are by commenting out of your ignorance on that of other nations.
Meanwhile, maybe, watch a documentary or read a book?
