Prime Minister's words on the launch of the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal

Following the launch of the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal yesterday, the Prime Minister welcomed collectors and veterans to Downing Street and made his donation in support of the Armed Forces community.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said:

“Every poppy worn across our country honours the courage and sacrifice of our Armed Forces community, both past and present.

“The Poppy Appeal reminds us of the values we cherish as a nation, and it is a chance to honour those whose everyday actions embody those principles.

“I'm proud to support the Royal British Legion's vital work in rebuilding lives and ensuring that no veteran faces hardship alone. During this period of Remembrance, the country comes together to reflect and remember those who have served us.”
