Remembrance Day is just a week away, and many members of the public are choosing to wear the Royal British Legion's red paper poppies to remember the service men and women who were killed in conflict. However there are an increasing number of other ways to support the campaign, including home accessories and the embellished poppy brooch worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, with a donation from the sale of each item going towards the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal. We've rounded up six of the alternatives:
The Sparkle Poppy Brooch by The Poppy Collection: In 2012, the Duchess of Cambridge swapped the traditional paper poppy for this red diamante studded poppy brooch. It has since proved so popular it typically sells out at stockist M&S every year. Available at M&S stores nationwide and online, £15.
