In November In the UK people where a poppy flower ,that they buy from the royal British legion. The money goes to looking after vets of ww1 and ww2.

The most common type is a paper poppy with a plastic stalk that sits in a buttonhole

Additional information: people get very annoyed if you're not wearing a poppy, especially people in public life who have to wear one about 2 weeks in advance of the actual armistice day.
