Overall:
I found the combination of hook and picture a little confusing because the red poppy is shown in the picture but not mentioned in the hook. If you agree to it, I would suggest the following modification, as clearer. It is just within length. I would also suggest the image caption "Red Remembrance poppy" since there are multiple colors. ...ALT1... that the purple Remembrance poppy was created to commemorate animals that served during war, but is not endorsed by the Royal British Legion which sells the official red poppies (symbol pictured).

I believe this is now ready to go. If we need an independent third person to confirm the rephrased ALT1, please jump in, someone. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk)
