Purple Poppy Day

Did you know that more than 8 million animals sacrificed their lives in World War I alone? Horses charging through gunfire, carrier pigeons delivering critical messages, dogs detecting explosives – these remarkable creatures were not just companions, but comrades who changed the course of history. The purple poppy symbolises these brave animals – commemorating the unsung heroes who served alongside our soldiers. By wearing it, you honour their incredible bravery, their unwavering loyalty, and their profound contribution to human conflicts.
