THE conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are inspiring more people to dig deep into their pockets for the annual Poppy Appeal, the Royal British Legion said yesterday.
Schoolteacher-turned-superstar singer Katherine Jenkins donned a dress made of 2,500 poppies to launch this year's appeal.
The 23-year-old soprano from Neath dazzled crowds at the launch yesterday in the Piazza in London's Covent Garden.
The stunning poppy dress was designed by two photography students who were inspired by the theme of remembrance.
A Royal British Legion spokeswoman said, 'Last year we raised a record £24.7m in the Poppy Appeal."
