It's part of marking the 100 year anniversary of the First World War.<\/p>\n<p>It's hoped the poppy sale will raise more than &pound;15 million for the service charities involved.<\/p>\n<p>As well as Help for Heroes, these include Combat Stress, the Royal British Legion and other organisations.<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801720857-ADNFCR\"
