What are the pink flowers a few people appear to be wearing?

I though poppy at first but they look more pink than red.

Never heard these simple words in that order.

Wikipedia says that Americans’ Veterans Day is called Remembrance Day—and less often Poppy Day—in the Commonwealth, and that many wear red flowers—often artificial—in observance.

Could be red plastic flowers reflecting sunlight and washing them out.
