Jenners in Edinburgh turns on red-light Scottish Poppy Appeal tribute The iconic Jenners building on Edinburgh's Princes Street is being lit up in red from dusk to dawn during Remembrance Week in tribute to the Scottish Poppy Appeal. The famous store is directly opposite Poppyscotland's Field of Remembrance in Princes Street Gardens where 10,000 crosses are on display, each one with a message of remembrance for a loved one or a simple thank you to those still serving in the Armed Forces. Staff from Jenners helped to plant the crosses and store manager, John Murphy, who joined volunteers, said: "To see the rows of crosses is very moving. Jenners overlooks the spot where thousands of tributes have been placed and we are proud to participate in the Remembrance commemorations and show our support for the Scottish Poppy Appeal. The Field of Remembrance was originally introduced in 2011 by Poppyscotland as part of a fundraising appeal mailing to homes across Scotland and has been repeated ever since. As well as the large Field in Prices Street Gardens, this year there will also be a Field in Inverness with 2100 crosses on display. The initiative has raised £240,000 to support veterans and their families this year. Each Field contains an Afghanistan plot to commemorate the 446 Service personnel who have been killed in action during continuing operations. Poppyscotland Chief Executive Ian McGregor said: "We are very grateful to House of Fraser for lighting up the magnificent Jenners building in poppy red. It is a fitting tribute to the appeal and the nearby Field of Remembrance. The Field is a hugely successful initiative as it enables us to create a moving visual tribute as well as raising vital funds to support the Armed Forces community in Scotland. We are delighted to have been able to create a Field in inverness too, which will allow people in the north of Scotland to show their support. The Scottish Poppy Appeal is Poppyscotland's largest fundraising event and money raised is used by the charity to provide direct financial assistance to veterans and their families and by funding specialist services in areas such as advice, employment, housing and health. Jenners will be lit up in red until 11 November.
