Rethink Remembrance this Poppy Appeal

The Army has been called in to support efforts to protect flood-hit areas of Cumbria amid fears that more heavy rain will fall on Christmas Day.
People are set to spend the day putting out sandbags in preparation and flood defence gates have been closed in Cockermouth, Carlisle and Keswick.
Cumbria has suffered severe flooding three times this month.
The Ministry of Defence said one company from 2nd Battalion Duke of Lancaster's Regiment (2LANCS), based at Weeton Barracks near Preston, are being deployed to affected areas on Christmas Day morning.
Rain will spread across Wales and northern England through the course of Christmas Day, reaching southern parts of Scotland during the early hours of Boxing Day, with prolonged spells forecast for south Cumbria.
The county has already recorded the wettest December since records began in 1910.
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said: "Even at Christmas our Armed Forces are keeping us safe. Once again they are responding to the Cumbria floods with a level of commitment
