Poppy Appeal

With just a month to go until Remembrance Day it's time to pin a poppy to your lapel. Every year I buy I paper poppy to wear, but I usually manage to either lose it or crumple it within the space of a day - but at Jon Richard they've come up with a great alternative...


In support of The Royal British Legion's annual Poppy Appeal they're selling poppy cocktail rings. Embellished with red crystals, the poppy rings both look stylish and show your support for this worthy cause.

Available to buy now from jonrichard.com as well as at selected Debenhams stores nationwide, the rings have an adjustable band to fit everyone and come gift boxed - but most importantly £3.60 from the sale of each £12 ring will go straight to The Royal British Legion so they can continue their valuable work with both serving and ex-service personnel of the British Armed Forces and their families.

Wear Your Poppy With Pride

I've been disgusted by reports of various bans enforced on poppies this year. First a facebook campaign forced Poundland to make a u-turn on their veto and now Prince William has stepped in to call on FIFA to back down on their ruling.

We should never forget the sacrifice paid by the men and women who have lost their lives in combat, and wearing a poppy is a potent symbol of the remembrance and respect they deserve.

The Royal British Legion sell a range of poppy jewellery, including beautiful crystal encrusted brooches and charms by Buckley. With proceeds supporting the Armed Forces and their families, you can wear your poppy with pride this Remembrance Day.
