00:43 Isabel, you might want to cap to these gentlemen.
00:46 [Background chatter]
00:49 Hello?
00:54 That's a good one. That's a...
01:03 That's a good one.
01:05 [Background chatter]
01:07 From Royal Poppies to just commemorate ten years of support.
01:26 Oh, brilliant. My ten years.
01:28 That's very smart. Thank you very much.
01:33 [Background chatter]
01:35 That's very nice. Thank you very much.
01:38 On behalf of all of us here and the whole Poppy Factory community,
01:45 we're here to celebrate and thank you for 100 years of the Poppy Factory.
01:50 I'm going to invite you to...
01:53 A beautifully polished song.
02:02 I'll dig in there.
02:04 Luckily it's quite soft.
02:07 Brilliant. Brilliant.
02:10 I wish everybody at the Poppy Factory a very happy...
02:17 Well, it's a century really. I can't believe it's so long.
02:20 And I can't believe that I've been part of it for ten years.
02:24 Anyway, I'm very proud to be part of the Poppy Factory
02:28 because I've seen the wonderful work you do.
02:31 As you say, it's so important nowadays to look after these veterans
02:35 because sometimes they don't get as much attention as they need.
02:40 So if it wasn't for you and for the other wonderful charities that are supporting you,
02:45 I don't know what they'd do.
02:47 So, as I say, I'm very proud to be part of it.
02:49 But you're the ones that do all the work, so thank you very much.
