Tonight for me.
You?

None were for sale in my area sadly

I bought a Remembrance poppy Brooch directly from the British Legion. It’s beautiful and saves me worrying about finding one if I can’t get out into the town. Much prettier than the paper poppy!

Me too. I don't like the paper ones. I donate each year if I see a poppy seller, but this year I didn't see any, and nor did my husband, who buys a paper poppy if he sees one.

Probably before Christmas

I didn’t buy one this year but was pleased to see I could donate through my Sainsbury’s online grocery order.

I do have a brooch but couldn't find it on Sunday morning!

Every year I buy a pin badge and a paper poppy, and took it off on Tuesday evening.

We're off to collect boxes now.

Mine was a sticky one which I bought at Leuchars station some days earlier. It had gone by the time I got to Kings Cross.

Probably the weekend.

I have a metal one and wear it all year round. Buy a new one and a paper one every year

I donate and support but don't wear a poppy as I just lose them.

I buy an enamel one each year and add it to my landyard for work, they stay till they drop off

Rick Stein was on BBC breakfast this morning and he had a brooch style poppy on his jumper.

My little enamel pin badge stays on my mac all year round.
