Meaning of red pins - UK


Birdnut

Recommended Posts

A couple of days ago I was watching the BBC World News on TV and noticed that the news anchor, as well as several UK officials featured in some of the stories, were wearing these red pins on their coats. They looked like a red apple with a green leaf.

 

This really got my curiosity up as to what the pins represent, and I thought maybe some UK folk here could shed some light?

It's something that we are brought up with ~ it not only helps us remember those who lost their lives in 1918 - but also in every other battle where British Commonwealth natives have died. It's just two minutes out of your year to say thank you to all those who have given their lives for their country xx
