The Poppy Girls is a British pop band consisting of five school-age girls from Armed Forces families.[1][2] The band was first formed in 2013 with the intent to raise money for The Royal British Legion,[3] and the members were selected from a pool of 1000 performers.[4]

Their debut single The Call (No Need to Say Goodbye) debuted at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and was written by Regina Spektor.[5] The full album, No Need To Say Goodbye, entered the UK Album Chart at number 62 in its first week.[6] In November 2013 the group performed in front of Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister David Cameron at the Festival of Remembrance.[7][8]
