Honouring those who have served this Remembrance Day
This coming Monday (11 November) marks Remembrance Day, an opportunity to honour the sacrifice of those who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces.
Celebrating Remembrance with The Poppy Factory
Every autumn, the streets of Britain turn red, with Remembrance poppies being worn commemorating the sacrifices made by veterans and current serving personnel. Charity, The Poppy Factory not only creates the humble poppy, but helps veterans into work.
Remembering D-Day: The shores of Juno Beach
The pinnacle moment of World War II: the Normandy Landings. On 6 June 1944, the Allies landed over 156,000 troops. Robert Barnett and Greg Hayward were just two members of the British Armed Forces involved with D-Day – they remember their journey.
Celebrating this London Poppy Day
Today (1 November) is London Poppy Day. Celebrated on the first day of November each year, London Poppy Day aims to raise money for The Royal British Legion in the run up to Remembrance Day.
