When should you start and stop wearing the poppy?
I wear my Poppy from the day they become available to purchase. We do have a box containing lots of our old Poppys as we find them too significant an item to dispose of.
The car windscreen stickers stay on all year around.
I have no idea when they should cease to be worn and therefore probably go on longer than many others.
It is good to be reminded of those sacrifices, made to protect us from tyranny, for more than just a few days.
Like many of my generation and age, we were born during conflict but as a result of our Brave Defenders have never had to be forced 'by National Need' to participate in conflict,
So, it is easy to just brush away our collective responsibility to 'Remember Them' and 'Wear Your Poppy with Pride'.
