Campaign celebrates 90 years of appeal
As part of the celebrations, it has asked one of the UK’s top photographers, West Lothian’s Trevor Yerbury and his wife, Faye, to create a photographic exhibition featuring 90 portraits of people across Scotland. The sitters will include serving soldiers and veterans, along with celebrities and members of the public.
The poppy factory, in Canonmills, creates five million poppies every year and the exhibition – to be unveiled in November – will feature alongside a TV advert and poster campaign to highlight how the poppy appeal has helped veterans and their families for 90 years.
