Accyexplorer. You ask why do people wear a red poppy – a stupid question as you know the answer, or if you don’t then you should! The poppy is worn to remember the fallen, not to glorify why they fell. It is worn to show respect and our gratitude to those who made the supreme sacrifice.

Like most right-minded people I abhor war, it is cruel, it makes no sense, and nothing seems to ever be learnt from it.

However, on November 11th, AccyX, whether you are wearing a red poppy or not, I hope you spare a thought for those who gave their lives so that today you, too, can smell the roses.
