Navy personnel have supported the Royal British Legion's London Poppy Day.
On Thursday, October 31, staff and trainees from the Defence College of Technical Training and the Royal Naval Air Engineering and Survival Equipment School travelled to the capital.
The event is a fundraising day for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal, raising awareness about the sacrifices made by service personnel.
Chief Petty Officer Lorry Osman coordinated the volunteers from HMS Sultan, who collected at Leadenhall Market.
She said: "London Poppy Day is a huge event. It’s something that Sultan is proud to support each year, joining volunteers in the capital from across the defence community.”
"This is the third time that I’ve participated in the event and it’s a great opportunity to raise crucial money in support of serving personnel, veterans and families, to promote the Poppy Appeal and mix with the general public."
London Poppy Day began in 2006 with 10 volunteers raising £500 and has since become a significant event.
