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
