Rainbow Rebels reflect on Remembrance Sunday

16 Nov 2022

Last Sunday, the Rainbow Rebels crafted poppies of different colours (see images below):

• The purple poppy is often worn to remember animals that have been victims of war.
• The black poppy is a symbol that commemorates all those who have died, and are still dying, due to war and its legacy.
  
• The white poppy which is intended to remember all victims of all wars, rather than just those in which British service people were involved.
• The red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future.
  

They also decided on their own colours and their symbolism:

• The yellow poppy is for joy.
• The blue is for forgiveness.
• The green is for growth.
