Recognised as an International symbol of Remembrance, the more TRADITIONAL POPPY, bearing two petals and a single green leaf, is distributed by The Royal British Legion mainly in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, but approximately 3 million are shipped to over 120 other countries outside the UK from their London based factory. These are mostly for British expats living in Germany, France and Spain, but some are sent to British Embassies in countries as varied as Argentina, Kazakhstan and Sri Lanka.
