11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month
Saturday 11 November 2006 – 15:11
Today is Remembrance Day, a day bound up with the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal.
I don’t want to wear a red poppy: the British Legion supports servicemen and not the civilians who gave their lives in munitions factories, shipyards, coal mines and their own homes and I want to remember them too.
The White Poppy seems to be a better alternative or just quiet inner reflection.
