The 2020 Poppy Appeal in Jersey has raised more than £200,000.

This year the fundraising theme was Every Poppy Counts.

A pop-up shop was opened on King Street in the hope of attracting more footfall. This was run by a team of dedicated volunteers and was set up to allow for safe social distancing.

Organisers say they have been "overwhelmed" by the support.

Chairman of the Royal British Legion in Jersey has thanked islanders saying "on behalf of service veterans and their families we offer sincere and heartfelt gratitude".
