It’s Poppy Day in Birmingham today, ahead of Remembrance Sunday on 11th November. Volunteers, members of the military forces and veterans were out in full force across the city, selling poppies and raising awareness about The Royal British Legion and their work.
Birmingham has featured in The Royal British Legion’s annual Poppy Appeal launch today with an installation at the city’s main library. The ‘red thread’ art at the Library of Birmingham is one of a series of installations across the UK that highlight reasons to say ‘Thank You’ to the First World War generation.
