Some people perhaps will wear it mechanically, or even as a "fashion statement", but for me personally the wearing of a poppy has a great personal significance. And so I will wear a red poppy, and I will use it as a way to remember.

People trying to outcompete each other over size or how bling their poppy is has become such a depressing sight.
Not sure yet, so I voted "no" for now. I will donate, but I'm clumsy and I always manage to lose/break the poppies, so might not bother. The important thing is the remembrance, after all.
For those who do wear them - there's a purple one as well to commemorate and raise awareness of the animal victims of war, to wear alongside a red or white one (The Royal British Legion have no issue with this).
