Mary Nightingale on ITV news is wearing her poppy on her right hand side as opposed to the traditionalist left hand lapel. Is this the contemporary nature of marking respect this year? or has wardrobe lost the plot?

Where to pin your poppy - left or right. Some people say left, as it's worn over the heart. It is also where military medals are worn. Others say only the Queen and Royal Family are allowed to wear a poppy on the right, which isn't true. Then there is the school of thought that says men should wear theirs on the left and women on the right, as is the traditional custom with a badge or brooch. The Royal British Legion spokesman says there is no right or wrong side "other than to wear it with pride".

Good answer! definitely wear it with pride, whether you agree with the futility of conflict or otherwise we owe so much, to so many for our freedom and liberty. I'll certainly wear my poppy with pride and salute the memory of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for me.
