I wear a poppy, and I down tools at work for the two minute silence. Everyone now does the same, although not all of them did when I first started working there. I was really glad to see when our foreman walked round with the poppies on Monday that everyone bought one.

I always used to get poppy's but now I work out of town I never seem to come across any. But I will insist that before kick off on Sunday we do a minutes silence (but we usually do one anyway).
Then its a drink for the fallen after the game, got a few friends out in Afgan/Iraq at the moment its really brought the remembrance thing home to me.
