Every November London and all United Kingdom blooms with thousands of red poppies. You can notice those red poppies everywhere, on the streets, in public transport and in the offices. They blossom next to the hears of many Londoners every November, symbolising the commemoration of The Armistice Day.
This tradition is coming from gruesome battlefields of World War I where humans first time discovered how to wage industrial era warfare against each other, killing millions of their innocent counterparts in the fields across the Europe. The very same fields, which are covered with a gorgeous canvas of myriads of red poppies every spring, making very hard to believe the atrocities done not so long time ago. World War I poem “In Flanders Fields” describes this simple yet not less dramatic truth of life.
Royal British Legion started the tradition of wearing the symbol of red poppies commemorating The Armistice Day. The poppies initially were made from silk and proceeds from their sales went to those, whose life was affected by war. We also support this noble tradition and will be sharing half of our proceeds with The Halo Trust, who are cleaning the minefields left after unfortunately numerous small and vast armed conflicts around the World.
These days be close with your loved ones, cherish our noble veterans and help those who are in need.
