In Flanders fields......
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below. (John McCrae)
888,246 ceramic poppies will have been planted in the moat around the Tower of London to commemorate the lives lost of British & Commonwealth servicemen & women during WW1. Add to that the many other lives lost during these dark years, it really brings home the terrible sacrifice made during times of war. May one day the world be at peace.
