A simple way to weather-proof your poppy and never lose it again
Here's how to protect your poppy this year.
When the wind blows on Remembrance Day, keeping your poppy fastened to your coat can be a challenge.
There are creative solutions, like taking the eraser out of a pencil and fastening it to the end of your pin.
But I went down to Earl Francis Memorial Spryfield Legion to learn about the new ultimate hack that will keep your poppy from flying.
There, I learned a secret: You can now buy special pins to secure your poppies. The middle part looks like the centre of a poppy, so you can actually take the pin out and replace it.
