Every November, we wear a red poppy — but have you ever wondered why? This tradition began after the First World War, when red poppies were the first flowers to bloom on the battlefields of Flanders. Inspired by the poem “In Flanders Fields,” and carried forward by women like Moina Michael and Anna Guérin, the poppy became a global symbol of remembrance and hope. ✨ Watch Part 1 of our three-part series “The Story of the Poppy” and discover where it all began. #RemembranceDay #Poppyscotland #Popp

Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, veterans, serving personnel and members of the public have shared what the poppy means to them. Inspired by John McCrae's poem 'In Flanders Fields' the use of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance began in the aftermath of the First World War. It was adopted by the Royal British Legion in 1921 who ordered millions of silk poppies and handed them out in exchange for donations in the first ever Poppy Appeal, and today, the charity distributes 30 million poppies each yea
