SCRIPT
The group Veterans for Peace commemorated 'Remembrance Sunday' by placing a wreath of white poppies at the foot of the Cenotaph in London. The group of veterans, with their trademark blue hoodies, carried a banner reading "never again." The aim of the group is to create a culture of peace by exposing the costs of war as well as informing the pubic of the true causes of war.
The white poppy represents the suffering of the victims of war, regardless of which side they were on. The first white poppies were sold by the Co-operative Women's Guild in 1933. Remembrance day is observed on the 11th November every year and marks the anniversary of the end of the First World War.
