In November last year we decided, as part of the yearly CSR programme, to support some ex-Services friends who are now bravely working in the NHS in the fight against COVID-19 by buying some Poppy brooches dear to them for wearing in November when “Remembrance Day” is celebrated in the UK. It is most important to point out that in the UK commemorating “Remembrance Day” is intended to unite people of all faiths, nationalities, cultures, and backgrounds and not to glorify war, and its symbol, the red poppy, represents both remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. It is interesting to note that Remembrance Services were also held in Portugal at Lisbon, Praia da Luz, Porto, Madeira and Algarve in 2020. To all those currently working hard to save us, a BIG THANK YOU, wherever YOU are.
