“When someone serves, their loved ones share in the uncertainty, the time apart and the sacrifices that come with it.
“I’d encourage everyone to get behind the Royal British Legion this year and show their support.
“Wearing a poppy is such a simple thing to do, but it means an enormous amount to those who serve, to veterans and, of course, to their families.”
