Purple Poppy
The Poppy Appeal is run by the Royal British Legion charity, with thousands of volunteers selling the paper poppies on the streets and in shops every year (Now also Poppy Badges or stickers).
There are four remembrance poppies, Red, Purple, White and Black.
The white poppy is a pacifist symbol of remembrance which has become more popular in recent years.
The black poppy was launched in 2010 by Selena Carty. It is in remembrance of black, African, Caribbean and Pacific Islanders who lost their lives at war.
The red poppy is a symbol of remembrance not just of those who died in the First World War, but in conflicts before and since.
The purple poppy badge is often worn to remember animals that have been victims of war.Â
Animals like horses, dogs and pigeons were often drafted into the war effort, and those that wear the purple poppy feel their service should be seen as equal to that of human service.
