BBC presenters did remove their poppies as they were using them earlier than BBC standards enable

Multiple posts online have claimed that Royal Legion poppies worn by BBC Breakfast presenters seemed to disappear during the show.

It is true that the presenters did remove their poppies around five minutes into the programme on 30 October. The removal can be seen here between 3:29 and 5:39.

The removal happened due to BBC guidelines around the wearing of poppies, which is allowed between 6am on 31 October, and 11:59pm on 11 November. The presenters were mistakenly wearing them before the start date.

A BBC spokesperson told Full Fact “In keeping with national convention, BBC guidelines state that those who wish to wear poppies can do so from 31st October.”
