People across Nottinghamshire - adults and children alike, are invited to mark Remembrance Day by displaying images of poppies in their windows at home as well as sharing them on social media.
Like so many things this year, the Poppy Appeal has had to adapt to the threat of Covid-19. The Royal British Legion is asking public to support like never before, because every poppy counts.
With some people unable to leave their homes as they normally would to find a poppy, and with many of the charitys collectors unable to carry out face to face collections, there is a range of new ways for people to show their support remotely.
Please use the link below for information on how to download poppy images.
