BBC to allow presenters to wear white poppies on air
Sunday 24 October 2021
The BBC says presenters may this year wear white poppies in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday if they choose to do so.
BBC presenters will be allowed to wear poppies of "any colour" between Saturday 30 October and Sunday 14 November. This has not always been the case in the past, with BBC presenters often expected to wear red poppies only.
The decision was welcomed by the Peace Pledge Union (PPU), the distributors of white poppies, who will be launching this year’s white poppy campaign tomorrow (Monday 25 October). https://www.ppu.org.uk/news/bbc-allow-p ... BmuNWZODRk
