No I don't think he does. My own experience is that there are some who like lapel pins and tend to go overboard with them and there are others who shun them completely. I'm with Jock in not wearing pins at all except on the very rarest of occasions. In fact the only time I will wear pins at all is on Remembrance Sunday when I lead the Civic Remembrance service - then I will wear a Veterans Pin, a Poppy and a Royal British Legion Scotland Pin. They will be on my Tippet (black preaching scarf) left breast during the service along with bullion embroidered Royal Air Force and Royal British Legion Scotland patches on each side of the Tippet at the bottom. Any other time of the year those pins stay in my drawer
