Poppies.

We were able to see the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London when they were first displayed 2014. 

It was at night and it was pouring with rain, but that didn't distract from the wonder of seeing them. I bought one and we put it in one of our front pots every year. 

Dh entered the Navy age 15 and served for 17 years . The Festival of Remembrance Service at the Royal Albert Hall is something we always watch. 

Sad thinking of all those young peoples lives lost. My grandmother's brother was killed in WW1 and she often spoke about him.  My aunts went to the War graves  in France to see if they could find his name somewhere, but Thomas Harris was too common a name. 

I always feel a bit teary when they play the Last Post and poppies float down at the end of the service,

I'll never forget the scene of those poppies, an amazing sight.
