Poppy appeal should also focus on today's veterans

A former Royal Marine from Wallasey who lost both his legs in Afghanistan says this year's Remembrance Day shouldn't just look at the past... but also focus on today's generation of veterans. Pete Dunning says the Annual Poppy Appeal is vital to highlight the work of the Royal British Legion.
