The Koru is supporting the Royal British Legion’s poppy appeal this year.
Their Majesty the Koru, Willow I, said:
I’m proud to support the poppy appeal this year, as I have done, though less publicly for years. For me, the poppy is a non-political symbol of remembering and respecting those who have died in military service.
Having seen disappointing attempts to politicise it, I find it more important than ever to express my support for this amazing initiative that raises money to support serving and former servicepeople and their families.
Especially in Commonwealth countries, poppies are a common symbol of rememberance and respect for those who die whilst serving in the armed forces.
