SIR – The reason I wear my Poppy is to thank all those who lost their lives for our freedom. The Royal British Legion does a wonderful job of helping all those who need help – I will always support them.

My 87-year-old husband, who I have been married to for 65 years, was one of the lucky ones who came home, so I will never forget all those who lost their lives – God bless them all.

Irene Theabould, Dunkhill Croft, Idle
