Inside the London factory where Remembrance wreaths are made

During October and early November people across the UK lay wreaths in Remembrance of those who have lost their lives in conflict.

Most of these wreaths are made at the Poppy Factory, based in Richmond-upon-Thames, south-west London.

Since 1922, the Poppy Factory has offered veterans with mental and physical health conditions employment making poppies, wreaths and other Remembrance products.

Steve Pleasants has worked there for eight years and spoke to BBC London about what the factory means to him.
