King Charles III of the United Kingdom Instagram – 100 years of the Poppy Factory! 👏
At Clarence House, The Queen has welcomed employees and long standing friends and partners of @ThePoppyFactory, as well as veterans and family members who have overcome barriers and seen their lives changed with help from the organisation.
The Poppy Factory was first set up in 1922 to create civilian employment for wounded, sick and injured veterans of the First World War.
Today based in Richmond, a thriving community of veterans and families has been established to make Remembrance poppies and wreaths for The Royal British Legion and The Royal Household, with many veterans living on site.
Her Majesty has been involved with the charity for 10 years. | Posted on 15/Feb/2024 22:57:48
