Celebrities lend their voices for London Poppy Day

21 famous voices to be heard by millions of commuters across the transport network on London Poppy Day.

Transport for London (TfL) has teamed up with a host of recognisable celebrity voices, Football Clubs and performers to encourage Londoners to give generously in support of The Royal British Legion's London Poppy Day on 30 October 2014.  

Twenty-one famous voices including Barbara Windsor, Brian Blessed, Joanna Lumley and Stephen Fry will be heard at over 70 London Underground stations, on all 8,500 London buses and 11 Network Rail main line stations.  London Poppy Day is part of the national Poppy Appeal, which aims to raise as much money as possible in a single day to support the whole Armed Forces family.  

To mark the centenary of the First World War, TfL has created a special poppy design with the line from the famous First World War poem by John McCrae, 'In Flanders fields the poppies blow'.
