Poppy Express is a poignant and unique act of Remembrance which will see Poppy Wreaths and tributes travelling all over the UK mainland and to significant locations overseas, as part of the our plans to honour and remember those who have fallen as a result of serving in the Armed Forces.
Following the huge success of our 'Poppies To Paddington' events last year, we are working closely with rail and transport companies as well as military units, Veterans, community groups and other charities to create an inclusive, collaborative and very special event.
