This morning I laid a wreath of red and white poppies at Bristolās #RemembranceSunday service. Every November, I choose to wear both a red and a white poppy: red to help those who have been affected by war, and white to work for peace.

At 11am this morning, please pause for 2 minutes' silence. #WhitePoppy wearers across the UK will pause to reflect on the endless tragedy of war & commit ourselves to peace - so desperately needed now at a time of insecurity, genocide & militarism #WhitePoppies #RemembranceDay

The BBC said staff can wear remembrance poppies of "any colour"- yet #WhitePoppies we donated to Broadcasting House were promptly removed from display. Weāre urging the BBC to honour its commitment to impartiality and inclusion. https://t.co/DYVPVV6rXX

#WhitePoppies are once again under fire ahead of #RemembranceDay, with a recent @Telegraph article accusing them being āmorally bankruptā & āhijackingā remembrance, among other inaccuracies... Read our response, setting the record straight. https://t.co/0StKgYUqU3

It's that time of year again. In the run up to Remembrance Day, the white poppy sometimes comes under attack from military figures, some politicians and certain sections of the media.
