Remembrance poppy: Controversies and how to wear it - BBC Newsbeat

How to wear it: Many say on the left, symbolising that you keep those who died close to your heart. It's also where military medals are worn. Others say men should wear it on the left and women on the right, like you would a badge or brooch. The Queen however wears hers on the left.

There are also many people who say that the leaf should point to 11 o'clock. The Royal British Legion told Newsbeat: "There is no right or wrong way to wear a poppy. It is a matter of personal choice whether an individual chooses to wear a poppy and also how they choose to wear it. The best way to wear a poppy is to wear it with pride."
How do you wear your poppy? | The Royal British Legion

Some wear it on the left side of their body, as this is close to the heart, while others suggest that men wear it in their left lapel (similar to a boutonnière) and women wear it on the right (similar to a brooch).

There’s also a myth that only members of the Royal Family are allowed to wear theirs on the right - this isn’t true.

However, none of these are the "correct" way to wear your poppy.

The best way to wear one is simply with pride.

Seems there is no right way or wrong way....
