I live about half a mile from the Poppy Factory that turns out all the poppies. Did a tour once and spoke to the disabled servicemen who live in the grounds and work on them. Humbling. One gave me ‘Poppy No 2’ which is bigger and made for royalty and politicians. He said ‘It’s for rich people but you can have it.’
Wife bought me one about a month ago for our up & coming Cruise, I'll be wearing it with double pride.
I’ve just ordered the “Poppies for kits” for our walking football team. We have a game on Remembrance Sunday, so thought it was appropriate.
I just ordered a couple (plus a little donation) to be delivered to my brother and sister-in-law in Tarn. Thanks for the heads-up DT.
