I've noticed that on current episodes of both The Graham Norton Show (http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/231/index.jsp) and Friday Night with Johnathan Ross (http://www.bbcamerica.com/content/377/index.jsp) both the hosts and guests are wearing what looks like a paper flower on their lapels. Anyone know what the deal on those is? I have not been able to find an explanation online.

Here's a Graham Norton clip with them all wearing the flower thingies (http://www.bbcamerica.com/video/graham-norton.jsp?bclid=20457705001&bctid=50009262001).

They're poppy pins.

We wore them when we were in London Oct 2001. One month after 9/11. Everyone had one on. It was awesome.

Thank you GC. I was wondering what those were as well.
