What are these in my newly Seeded lawn?

I've had these plants spring up in my newly Seeded lawn, not sure what they are? And as they are at the edge I may keep them if they're not weeds. Any help would be appreciated.

    They look like Welsh poppies. They seed themselves. Poppies can lie dormant and then grow when the soil is disturbed.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I would be pretty sure they are Welsh Poppies.  They will soon flower, then you will know for certain.  They look like poppies.

    They are wild; I have lots that I encourage.  They come in yellow and orange;  I rogue the orange and keep the yellow.  Spread the seed where you want them in future.
