Old enough to remember when you just bought poppies for #RemembranceDay, the proceeds of which all went to the #BritishLegion to support veterans.

Now, as far as the eye can see, tacky plastic flags bought from China, contributing nothing of value to anyone.

What a time to be alive.

A beautiful display of poppies at the #BritishLegion memorial at Barry Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery a few weeks ago ago. Ensuring that all those that fell are never forgotten.

British Legion Celtic cross memorial to the fallen with a beautiful display of poppies in front accompanied by flags and markers to some of the CWGC casualties in Barry Merthyr Dyfan cemetery.

My honour today to be able to attend a service to commemorate the life of Fusilier Lee Rigby. May he RIP. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He will not be forgotten. Good will always triumph over evil. @Royal_Greenwich @britishlegion @LondonFusiliers @BritishArmy
