Poppies displayed on the Forum Heading

The article mentions that the sculpture will be 9m taller than the Angel of the North. With or without poppies, I hope it looks better than that monstrosity. Hideous thing!

Loved the Tower of London poppies though. Sentimentality got to me, too.

 

I appreciate that totally - it was a noble effort, Owen.

 

Now you see 'em, now you don't !!!!!

Come on Adam, you know how much we like them !

I think they are great . Moving or static

 

The owner of the Historic Light Ship SULA had this flag made for Remembrance day. She held it up so I could take a photo.

 

Thank you for putting up the poppies.

Remembering my grandfather (WW1) and my father (WW2) today. Both survived their wars, both sadly no longer with me.

PS. It only occurred to me today (24hrs later!) that there are 11 poppies - a very clever thought.

 

In Ron's stead, thank you for the poppies Adam.

 

It always brings back childhood memories of the artificial poppies that were sold by veterans. I always bought them but it was not until later in life that I understood their meaning. Sadly, I have not seen them sold here in Connecticut for many years.

 

The symbolism of the poppy for remembrance of the victims of war and the ongoing good in purchasing and wearing one is timeless. Lest we forget.

 

Hopefully no one minds? I think Ron would be okay with this

Adam, great to see the Poppies back again. Thanks as always for Remembering.

 

I had to change my Remembrance header on my website a few years back. I did a similar thing to WW2 Talk, but my platform stopped allowing a second image to be placed on the original image (if you know what I mean), so I go with the below:

 

Love it as it is ! But, just incase it ever changes.

 

Good to see again, thanks.

 

Seconded.
