My grandad, William, was shot, patched up and sent back to the trenches twice in the first world war. He was one of the lucky ones, he survived. I wear a poppy in honour of his and all the people that bravely fought so that we could live in freedom. Remembrance Sunday is the day when we can show our respects for all those who fought and are still fighting (and dying) so that we can still enjoy that freedom. The money raised by selling poppies comes from a grateful public and shows our support and thanks.
