The palace shared a video of the queen with caption, “100 years of the Poppy Factory!”
The Poppy Factory was first set up in 1922 to create civilian employment for wounded, sick and injured veterans of the First World War.
Today based in Richmond, a thriving community of veterans and families has been established to make Remembrance poppies and wreaths for The Royal British Legion and The Royal Household, with many veterans living on site.
