Poppy Appeal 2018
100 years ago the guns fell silent on the world’s first truly global war. The First World War ended, and a new world began. The example and experience of those who lived through this tragic and remarkable time put Britain on the path to becoming what it is today and shaped the world we live in. In 2018 The Royal British Legion is leading the nation in saying Thank You to all who served, sacrificed and changed our world.
The Two Minute Silence, held each year at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, marks the end of the First World War.
Remembrance Sunday, which falls on 11 November 2018, is a day for the nation to remember and honour those who have sacrificed themselves to secure and protect our freedom.
The Poppy Appeal is the Royal British Legion’s biggest fundraising campaign held every year in November, the period of Remembrance.
Butterfields are proud sponsors of the Poppy appeal, please call into one of our branches should you wish to donate or pick up a Poppy.
