Watch: Royal British Legion band's epic Poppy Appeal performance at King's Cross

Rushing commuters were stopped in their tracks at Kings Cross Station yesterday evening (October 31).

As part of the Poppy Appeal festivities across London yesterday, members of the Royal British Legion put on a spectacular performance during rush hour.

Sounds from the band could be heard across the station, with many commuters stopping to watch in awe.

The band was positioned beneath the giant poppy in the foyer of Kings Cross. In 1919 the British Legion adopted the red poppy as an emblem to honour the dead and support the living.
