If you wear one that is. Do you stop after 11/11?

Yes, I just wear it for the day, put it on in the morning and take it off in the evening. Mind you, I come from another country where it is not tradition to wear poppies and haven’t worn one most years but today I did out of respect as I work in a place with lots of people that wear it and mark the day with a special event.

Today is the last day

Take it off on 12th November.

“The period of remembrance is from the onset of sales until Remembrance Sunday or Armistice Day, whichever is latest” - eg some years Remembrance Sunday is after Armistice Day (11/11) so you can wear poppies up until then.

Although I mean, nobody’s going to stop you wearing a poppy in June if you so wish…

I'm in Vancouver, Canada. Here, you place it on the cenotaph once the Remembrance Day ceremony is over, if you attend one. Otherwise, typically end of day.
