Memorial poppies were on sale on the streets of Hamilton yesterday ahead of Remembrance Day on Saturday.

The sales team from Gibbons Co pitched in for the Bermuda Legion’s pop-up shop selling poppies and wreaths in the Russell Eve Building on Church Street.

A bicycle prop used in shop windows became the basis of an eye-catching display, with pedestrians buying remembrance poppies from Lieutenant Andrew Wallace of the Royal Bermuda Regiment and Bermuda Legion case worker Carol Everson.

Full-time regiment staff pitch in every year to support the poppy appeal and help out the legion, he said.

This year, the appeal has added a second tag day — going ahead tomorrow all over the island — particularly in the streets of Hamilton.
