Poppies gave hope and inspiration to people after the First World War

As Remembrance Day draws near, could you kindly give an introduction to the Royal British Legion and its famous Poppy Appeal?   Andrew, Beijing

The UK has a community of over 10 million retired soldiers, who are supported by an organisation called the Royal British Legion.

What does this charity do and why do people feel connected to their cause?

Helen and Jean find out from Stuart Gendall who works at the charity. They also ask about the significance of the poppy.

Once you've listened to Helen's report, try the quiz to check your understanding.
