What does the poppy stand for?
The poppy is the enduring symbol of #remembrance of #WW1. It is linked to Armistice Day (11 November), but the poppy's origin as a symbol of remembrance lies in the landscapes of the Western Front battlefields where poppies were a common sight.

Why do we wear poppies around #RemembranceSunday?
For nearly 100 years, the poppy has been a symbol of the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces, both at times of war and in their peacekeeping duties.

Artificial poppies were first sold in Britain in 1921 to raise money in support of ex-servicemen and the families of those who had died in #WW1.
The funds collected by @PoppyLegion help to provide expert guidance, recovery and rehabilitation to those affected in conflict.
