I WANTED to let readers know of an idea by the charity Animal Aid, to remember our innocent friends lost in conflict.

This year, Animal Aid has issued a purple poppy as a reminder that animals have been victims of war. £1 each.

If you would like one email kate@animalaid.co.uk or write to Animal Aid, The Old Chapel, Bradford Street, Tonbridge, Kent TN9 1AW.
