I think it's very important to remember those who survived/died through worse circumstances than any of us will ever know. I think everyone should wear a poppy and wear it with pride in honour of the people who gave their lives for us to live in a free country. I know of people who are out there now and I just think about how amazing and unselfish they are. I'm thinking about joining in a few years and I can't even imagine how scary it would be.

I've been a member of the Royal British Legion Women's Section since i was sixteen and have been deputy standard bearer for my branch also. On Rememberence Sunday, I will be carrying the standard with pride in the church service. i feel we have a duty to remember those who gave their tomorow for our today. I wear my poppy with pride and spend many hours selling poppies and promoting the message of the Royal British Legion. My friends don't show much interest in it but it means a lot to my family, some of whom died during the war. Also, we're the only generation who still have veterans and such a close connection to those wars - we need to set up a culture of respect and rememberence so that our children don't take it for granted

In northern ireland this issue is quite conflicted as traditionally it was only Protestants who wore poppies, so some people might feel like they are wearing their religion on their lapels and perhaps targeted. However, some wear theirs with pride whether they are Protestant or Catholic - things have moved on in some ways.

I wear my poppy because its important to remember but it does become routine and the 6th form try to shame you into buying them so lots of people in my school are buying a poppy instead of lunch, which isn't great. I also take part in the march in my town with the scouts despite the fact its freezing every year because we should forget them ever. This year my friend's grandad is organising the march because he is one of the few surviving vetrans who can call rank

I don't see how wearing a poppy is showing them any respect tbh. I have huge respect for those who fought for us in the war, but I just prefer to remember them in my own way :).

In our school there are plaques up in the library of all the names of the soldiers that went to our school that died in the world wars, alongside the honours prizes. It really made me think when in one year there was a 17 year old boy who won the maths prize, then on the next plaque it said he died in the second world war just a year later only 18 years old. So sad

I make sure to buy a poppy every year (most times two cause I lose the first one :L) and also, because I'm an explorer scout, we also do a parade for rememberance sunday which is pretty cool. :)

i love wearing a poppy and it makes me respect what the men and women are doing or have done to serve their country. My dad is in the army and is currently fighting in Afganistan, so not only does it commemorate all the men and women that fought or worked in the first and second world wars, it represents any one who fought in any war all over the world. i wear my poppy with pride, and believe schools over the country should be doing more to promote 'Remembrance day'

Rememeber all the soldiers who sacrificed themselves and their lives for their country.peace

I might wear a poppy, I might not. I respect that these people died for us, but honestly, wearing a poppy seems kind of childish. Going to a rememberance service is much more pro-active.

I am an army cadet and ever since I started getting involved with cadets and people who were interesting in the armed forces i have felt a lot more strongly that the poppy appeal should be supported. We have a big parade in our town every year which i have done with Girl Guides and there are always lots of people all of the cadets, guides, scouts and there are veterans. I always buy a poppy and wear it with pride!! Our school doesn't do anything not even a 2 minutes silence but they do sell poppies. Its amazing what soldiers and everyone in the armed forces does for this country and they are sacrificing themselves for us and we should ahve the decency to give a few pence or a pound towards a fund that helps them and their families. please support the Royal British Legion, the Poppy Appeal, Help for Heroes and any other charities that help our troops. They have done a lot for you.
