It’s vital to remember the people who help us. That’s why we must never forget the unique sacrifice of our Armed Forces. See what we'll be remembering in 2020 ➡️ rbl.org.uk/remembrance

Just met a lady wearing a 20 year @PoppyLegion merit badge. We have never met, but we got chatting away like we were old friends. She was very interested in the Tonbridge Poppy Appeal, how much we raised and all the past events we have done. The RBL is a family. A great family.

Michael Bell & 2 friends he served with got matching tattoos during their first deployment together, marking their strong bond. For 100s of years sailors have tattooed their knuckles with a badge of their profession. Read more tattoo stories. ➡️ bit.ly/2CUalaK @royalnavy

Inspiring to hear from ex Armed Forces personnel and their wives on how they would like us to listen to them and support their emotional well-being within the Armed Forces and wider communities. 💚💚 @BritishArmy @RoyalNavy @RoyalAirForce @PoppyLegion @SSAFA

No, @PoppyLegion do not need to go any further, and certainly not at the behest of a hard left political group like @PPUtoday which has been trying to hijack our highly respected symbol of British remembrance.
We welcome the @PoppyLegion's decision to include civilians in Remembrance. They now need to go further, and include people of other nationalities. @ZamiraRahim reports on our response in the @Independent : independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…. #RememberThemAll #WhitePoppies
