SOME people might have noticed a number of MPs wearing yellow daffodils at PMQs today.
But why are politicians in the Commons wearing these pins, and what do they symbolise?
Why are MPs wearing yellow daffodils?
These yellow daffodil pins are part of charity Marie Curie’s “Great Daffodil Appeal”.
Funds raised from people wearing the yellow flower pin provide care for people living with terminal illnesses and help the charity push for better end-of-life care for all.
According to Marie Curie, daffodils were chosen as they symbolise “new beginnings and rebirth".
The charity states: “They’re a positive, life-affirming symbol, with a bright and joyful yellow colour."
Marie Curie provides care and support for people living with any terminal illness including cancer, dementia, and heart disease.
Some people choose to wear daffodil pins to celebrate the work of Marie Curie nurses, while others choose to wear the pin for personal reasons – such as having a family member supported by the work of Marie Curie.
