I hope you are proud of that.

And the freedom that others have made to enable you to do such a thing.

I thought it was a bit OTT last night on Strictly, that they all wore

This might have been vaguely on topic if the poppy was a real poppy.
Only joking.
Joking aside, IMO everybody who has a conscience should remember why we
are
all still free, and wear that poppy with pride.

In a few years time nobody will remember 11/11. because its not in our
lifetime. Winston and all the lost heroes of 2 world wars will no doubt
be
in the history lessons when we and a couple more generations have
passed.

A pin would have been a bit too risky!
Indeed.

Well apart from missing an 11, it is the 11th hour of the 11day of the
11th month,
Popy day isn't just about the 2 World wars, it also remembers all
those who have given their lives in all the conflicts that we have
been involved in.
I was glad to see the dancers with their poppies, as with the news
readers, presenters etc wearing them, some a bit early but then it
serves as a reminder to viewers to get theirs.
Just be thankfull that Flanders fields were filled with poppies and
not thistles.

I have found these poppies very durable. I bought mine over 5 years ago
,still going strong, so I have not needed to buy another since!
