Just a though - is there an official date when you should stop wearing your poppy in the UK? Is it when the Rememberance Day has come and gone as it has today, 8th November, or is it the 11th November whether or not it is a working day after Rememberance Day? What do you all do?
BTW - I know it's a little way to go but 11th November 2018 is a Sunday which is a blessing as we can all attend Rememberance parades on the actual day. However in a way it is also a disappointment as I would have liked just for once for it to be a public bank holiday with all banks, shops - in fact every non essential establishment closed and traffic band from city centres- just for once on this 100th anniversary, so that we may remember in a special way all those who have died for their county in that time.
