I've always bought poppies i always lose them as well. Bought 2 this year and ive got one left and its sitting here on the fireplace. Have just watched the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. Have always watched it mum used to say its to say thank you for the people who have fought in the wars and elsewhere. Will get up tomorrow morning to watch the cenotaph parade on tv. Used to go to the parades when i was a scout leader down in Church and brownie guide leader in Haslingden. My uncle was killed in Burma and my dad was given his medals and now my brother has them.
