Prince Harry Rides Red Double Decker Bus in London for Poppy Day
Prince Harry Rides Red Double Decker Bus in London for Poppy Day – Prince Harry hopped on an vintage red double decker bus in his native London on Thursday to raise awareness for a great cause.
Donning a red paper poppy pin less than two weeks before Remembrance Sunday, the 30-year-old younger brother of Prince William took a short ride on the open-back 1960s-era Routemaster, often seen in movies, with British war veterans and celebs, such as singer Joss Stone, to support the Royal British Legion charity’s Poppy Appeal on Poppy Day. The group raises funds to help UK servicemen and women, veterans and their families.
Both princes have served in the United Kingdom’s military. Harry is a captain in the army and has been deployed in Afghanistan twice.
Many people in the United Kingdom mark Remembrance Sunday, which takes place on Nov. 9, by wearing a red poppy and attending church services, concerts and other events. They will also honor fallen servicemen and women with a two-minute moment of silence on Armistice Day on Nov. 11.
