Today I went to the Poppy Factory Visitor Centre , a very pleasant couple of hours.
Photos
1 & 2 : The Beatles had their "crossing in Abbey Road , the Factory has theirs on the main road outside.
3 & 4 : Pick and Mix , visitors get to assemble a Poppy but have to use their 'wrong' hand !
5 : Two "special" Poppies , one made by the Queen during one of her visits and the other made by Camilla ,Duchess of Cornwall , who is the Patron of the Factory.
6 : A nice example of a WW2 "Austerity" Poppy.
Basic Poppies are no longer made/assembled at the factory (it is easier/cheaper to have machines do it) but wreaths and wooden religious symbols are still made/assembled there.

NB : No one at the factory was aware of a Poppy with 100 on the leaf , they did not produce/sell or have any involvement with them and I still have not even seen a photo of one ?
