The service of Rememberance is always on the 2nd Sunday in November. This year its the 8th. Starting the Poppy Appeal on 25 Oct is 2 weeks until then.

I must admit to finding 1 Nov early enough, but allowing 2 weeks until the commeration services does mean more opportunity, if a person wishe, to purchase one.

Although a little premature, Sainsbury's will be collecting used Poppys for recycling. Funds raised will go back to the RBL. There may be other chains.

well, I like it.

It's nice and simple.

Thank you GR!



We don't have leaves on our poppies over here, and they didn't come on sale until November 1st. The news anchors and reporters on TV didn't have them until Nov 1st.

It seemed odd to see them for so much longer on BBC News Overseas!

I don't care whether they have leaves or not, or if the leaf should be to the left or right.
Its what it stands for that is important, and if they are being sold early, so what.
Brings some much needed money for a those who deserve it.

I have always preferred the (correct) Scottish poppy plus the fact that thousands aren't wasted adding silly paper leaves which shouldn't be there in the first place.

Well done GR, I actually like it. It is neat, we don't need a huge one, it is in proportion.

The Royal British Legion said that here is no particular way to wear the Poppy. The important thing is that we purchase one and remember it's significance.

The leaf at 2 o'clock can also be seen as 11 minutes past. So tidier and just as apt.
