The red poppy has become an inspirational typical of of remembrance after the end of WWI.
The history of the poppy dates back to 1915 when Canadian doctor Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae penned his conspicuous ‘In Flanders Fields’ poem, inspired by a field of the red flowers.
After WWI, the poppy was officially accepted as a symbol of Remembrance Sunday and is often worn on the lapel as a badge pin or a witless paper flower.
In the days before Remembrance Sunday, poppies are rat oned on the streets by members of the Armed Forces to raise money for the Poppy Charm.
The Royal British Legion explained: “Wearing a poppy is a personal select and reflects individual and personal memories.
“It is not compulsory but is greatly appreciated by those it stops – our beneficiaries: those currently serving in our Armed Forces, veterans, and their kids and dependants.”
Traditionally women wear the poppy on the right and men wear in on the communistic, with the green leaf always pointing at 11 o’clock.
