As Remembrance Sunday and the wearing of the traditional red poppy once again approaches, some readers may like to know about the attractive fabric white poppies with the word ‘Peace’ in the centre.

A white poppy, promoting Peace, can be worn with no disrespect to all those who have died and who continue to die in wars; whilst the traditional red poppy can honour and remember the war dead without promoting war: why not wear both side-by-side, as many now do?
