Poppies

Question

One or two years ago, I noticed for the first time someone in Belgium wearing a poppy on their lapel. Apparently, they have been on sale in a number of shops, pubs, school and medical centres in Brussels this year. I am just curious: has this always been the case or is this fairly new?

I have worn a poppy every year here -- I am far from Brussels -- At the local memorial there are several people every 11th who wear poppies -- and they are native Belgians
