A simple way to weather-proof your poppy and never lose it again
A tip on how to stop losing your poppy
When the wind blows on Remembrance Day, keeping your poppy fastened to your coat can be a challenge.
There are creative solutions, such as removing the eraser from a pencil and fastening it to the end of your pin.
However, I went down to the Earl Francis Memorial Spryfield Legion to learn about a new ultimate hack that will keep your poppy from flying away.
There, I discovered a secret: you can now purchase special pins to secure your poppies. The central part resembles the centre of a poppy, allowing you to easily remove the pin and replace it.
