Brilliant idea

Stunning

Missed the boat on this, how much were they?

[joroas]

They were £25.

The effect is stunning, but you can only see them from the wall above, it was packed with people.

We also went to the Cenotaph in Westminster to see the RBL standing guard.

It was nice to see Britain commemmorating this.

With gratitude for all of your service.

Thanks for sharing your pics, especially of the poppies at the tower. I hope you don't mind but I've saved copies to put with mine when it arrives. Eventually I'd like to take mine to Flanders and leave it there at a graveside.

Wow, what a great idea.

I knew that my step-paternal grandfather had been in the Black Watch and lost an eye on the Western Front.

Unknown to me, my paternal grandmother had lost her twin brother in Gallipolli, this was never mentioned in the family until a couple of months ago.

Thanks for the pics John, looks like you had a jolly good day weather wise too.

PS. could not see ours though

The weather was very mild for this time of year, no rain and no wind, hardly needed the coat I took.

As for the poppy, I thought yours was the red one?
