NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Every November, you’ll see people donning a new accessory on their coat, jumpers and shirt lapel – namely, a bright red poppy.
That’s because November is when the UK marks Remembrance Day – to honour the lives lost in service of the country.
We thank Armed Forces of Britain and the Commonwealth – as well as their families, the emergency services, and many others – for the sacrifices they’ve made, and for protecting the country during conflict.
And the occasion is typically marked by wearing a poppy emblem on your clothes to show your respect.
