Poppy posters get anti-war slogan
Poppy Appeal posters in Kent have been defaced by protesters attacking former prime minister Tony Blair's war record.
The Royal British Legion annual appeal adverts emphasise their support for personnel who served in Afghanistan.
The poster shows war widow Hester Wright, 22, and her son Josh, six, holding a portrait of her late husband.
The slogan "For their sake, wear a poppy" has been replaced with "For their sake, prosecute Blair" on a billboard in Gillingham.
Objectors to Mr Blair's war record altered the sign outside Gillingham railway station.
