Because I spent a large chunk of this morning hanging around a tube station (don't ask but oh the glamour! Not) I was able to see actual servicemen and women collectors for this year's Poppy Appeal collecting donations from various commuters. No fuss, no bother, no hard sell. Just dignity, pride and bravery.
I'm always moved when I see anything like this and no matter how small, I always donate. I'm obviously a massive supporter of cancer charities, but the Poppy Appeal each year also gets my unequivocal support. It's a given. And this year, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month we will get 11-11-11-11 - an extra special Remembrance Day. Definitely once in a lifetime.
Don't and never forget.
