The Poppy Appeal is the British Legion's biggest fundraiser

The official day of remembrance is on Saturday 11th November, with more services of remembrance being held across the country on Sunday.

The Poppy Appeal is the British Legion's biggest fundraiser, and takes place every year. Nearly £150 million was raised last year from the Poppy Appeal alone, and most of the money is spent on ensuring the welfare of war veterans and their families.
