A poppy seller has described taking part in a Remembrance Day campaign as "very moving".

The Royal British Legion Jersey branch What Remembrance Means to Me video campaign involves islanders sharing experiences, including poppy seller John Pallot-Brown.

Pallot-Brown, the branch's standard bearer, said he wanted to remember his granddad and dad, who served served in World War One and World War Two respectively.

Lieutenant Governor of Jersey Sir Jerry Kyd said the appeal was important to remember those who "sacrificed themselves for our freedom".

In the video, Pallot-Brown said neither his father and grandfather spoke much about their service but he remembered being taken to the cenotaph as a child.

"There's a saying I'm quite fond of, all gave some and some gave all," he said in the video.

"At the end we must remember them."

Sir Kyd said the poppy appeal was not only about past wars but also about "today".
