Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and X Factor stars use poppies to inspire Two Minute Silence.

X Factor judges Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw are supporting poppy power as they back a campaign encouraging people to observe the Two Minute Silence.

Celebrities from the world of television, sport and music, including X Factor hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack, Apprentice stars Lord Sugar and Karren Brady and Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon have been filmed holding poppies to their lips ahead of the silence at 11am on Armistice Day on November 11.

They, along with Rudimental musicians Piers Agget and Kesi Dryden, TV host Jools Holland and sports stars Jessica Ennis-Hill and Andrew Flintoff, are appearing in a new film from the Royal British Legion to raise awareness and understanding about the charity’s annual silence, which takes place at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month and marks the Armistice Treaty, which ended the First World War on November 11, 1918.
