The Poppy Appeal for 2017 is on now! Who are the Royal British Legion, when was London Poppy Day and how can I make a donation?
IT is the time of year when red poppies start appearing everywhere you look.
Here's all the info on Britain's biggest commemoration event and how you too can get a poppy and get involved.
When does the 2017 Poppy Appeal start?
The Poppy Appeal officially started on Thursday, October 26.
Remembrance Sunday is today (November 12), and the Cenotaph Service has taken place at Whitehall in London.
Though the paper poppies are the most widely recognised, you can also buy poppy badges in silk, felt, sterling silver and many other variations.
In 2014, nearly 900,000 ceramic poppies were installed at the Tower of London to mark 100 years since the first full day of Britain's involvement in the First World War.
You can donate by calling 0845 845 1945 or by sending a text message.
To donate £3, you can text POPPY to 70020.
Or to donate £10, text POPPY to 70111.
You can also print off a donation form to send money in the post.
What is London Poppy Day?
The Royal British Legion’s London Poppy Day took place on Thursday, November 2, and featured thousands raising money for the cause.
It is the largest one-day street collection of its kind that takes place in the UK.
On the streets of the city, particularly near the capital's main train stations, you can meet 2,000 uniformed personnel from the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force and veterans.
There are traditionally performances from military bands and celebrity announcements over London's network systems.
The aim is to raise £1million for The Royal British Legion, and events can be followed using the #LDNPoppyDay hashtag.
