The 1 day in every year we set aside a brief moment in time to remember the fallen. It marks the exact day and hour World War One came to an end - the 11th day, of the 11th month - 1918.

Talking of Poppy Scotland, I'm sure our loyal fans have seen our custom gallery on Facebook - but for those of you who haven't (yet), here's some custom jerseys we made earlier...
