Level Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 What is that emblem everyone is wearing on their jackets lately? Especially in news (Sky news, bbc world etc). It looks like a tomato or something. It's everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 If you're talking about this emblem, it's actually a poppy. A poppy is a flower. The Royal British Legion, sometimes referred to as simply The 'Legion, is the United Kingdom's leading charity providing financial, social and emotional support to millions who have served or who are currently serving in the British Armed Forces, and their dependents. [...] The charity organises a fund-raising drive each year during which artificial poppies, meant to be worn on clothing, are offered to the public in return for a charitable donation.
