Every year, millions of people don a small red poppy in an act of remembrance and to support the work of the British Legion, but have you ever wondered where those poppies come from?

You might be gratified to learn they are not manufactured in a Chinese sweatshop, but in London - at a small factory in Richmond to be exact. Nearly 50 million poppies, all from this one small building.
