Remembrance Sunday is an important day for our nation to commemorate all of the British soldiers and service men who served in the two World Wars and the conflicts after.
What does the red poppy symbolise?
Ultimately, the Red poppy symbolises remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. However, it is rumoured that the red petals symbolise blood. The centered black dot symbolises the mourning of those who didn’t get the chance to welcome their loved ones back. Finally, the leaves symbolise growth.
It has been very difficult since the pandemic as many volunteers have gotten extremely sick and have not been able to volunteer any longer. The shortage of volunteers in charity organisations have affected many in need, not just the Poppy Appeal but since we are nearing remembrance day and remembrance Sunday, here is a couple of ideas as to what you could do to remember the brave that served this country.
- Make a donation.
If you cannot access locals outside of tube stations or on the streets trying to encourage others to donate then the best way to donate is through the British Legion website or you can visit your local charity shop and donate some money, in exchange, you will receive a Poppy.
- Participate in a 2 minute silence at 11am
- Create your own posters and frame it!
You can use our A4 or A6 Photo Paper to create posters of poppy’s or anything else that signifies Remembrance Day to you or your family. Go ahead and try to design prints e.g. Design Medals. You could even print these out using compatible Inks. They are almost the same in quality as the originals and they are cheaper. They are more environmentally friendly also.
