This week, we launched the RBL #PoppyAppeal at our warehouse, welcoming our biggest supporters like D-Day Veteran John Roberts and fundraiser Maisie Mead. As poppies now make their way to Poppy Appeal collectors across the country, please show your support by wearing yours. ❤️

For #LondonPoppyDay, I joined serving personnel, veterans, and volunteers to sell poppies at Waterloo Station. Make sure to support Royal British Legion by buying your poppy and wearing it with pride.

80 years since D-Day. 80 years since the largest seaborne invasion in history. 80 years since the heroic efforts of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. 80 years of peace in Western Europe since. Today we say thank you. #DDay80
