Heartfelt thanks to all those who died to save us.
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
As we say goodbye to 2016 my friends, I'm thinking of my dear friend Essie who we all lost this past summer, I miss her so much! She made this lovely outfit for me for my birthday (which was her birthday too).
Wishing you all a safe and good new year, with love from me <3
Memorial Day was set aside to honor all those veterans who lost their lives in the Country's wars.
This particular soldier died during the American Civil War which ended in 1865, and still today, the grave gets marked with a flag! ...true honor and remembrance!
The remembrance poppy is an artificial flower that has been used since 1921 to commemorate military personnel who have died in war, and represents a common or field poppy, Papaver rhoeas. Inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields", and promoted by Moina Michael, they were first adopted by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers killed in that war. They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in parts of the British Empire.
Today, they are mostly used in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, to commemorate their servicemen and women killed in all conflicts. There, small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing leading up to Remembrance Day/Armistice Day. Poppy wreaths are often laid at war memorials. In Australia and New Zealand, they are also worn on Anzac Day.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
As Remembrance Sunday is being celebrated in the UK on 14 November I thought I would post this picture of a poppy field in the county where I live - Northamptonshire.
My grandfather survived the first three years of the Great War but was then killed in France in 1917. He has no known grave. Total British Army losses were nearly 900,000.
Since then there has been World War Two and other wars when numerous soldiers, sailors and airmen have lost their lives in the service of their country. We owe a vast debt to them all.
It's getting cold now...
I'll miss summer mostly because of this flower.

A poppy to remind us that today is Remembrance day, during these trying times we honour those who fought for our democracy, human rights and equality for all.
I would like to believe that we can live up to the fact that the sacrifice of those who died for us was not in vain.
So get vaccinated people !!!
As always, we gather in London City at 11am GMT (3am SLT) to mark the two minute silence for Remembrance Sunday.
Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.

Remembrance Day
Matilija Poppies are a real showstopper in late spring. With half a dozen beds planted at UCR Botanical Gardens, the tree poppies grow six to ten feet tall with large white blooms and dark green foliage. Majestic and beautiful, I look forward to these California gems return each spring.

This is the Remembrance Sunday that I photographed in Hove during the second lockdown. All images for this series are uploaded on a very low resolution.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Taken on Remembrance Sunday last year, it is a poignant image to post for today as we remember. Lest we forget.
2020 is to say the least proving to be a strange and testing year. Our armed forces may not be at the forefront of the news defending the country from unfriendly nations, but they are still assisting with the deference against Covid. We as a nation depend upon the men and women of the forces and we far too frequently acknowledge their efforts to keep us and the country safe. Alas casualties have occurred not just in the two great wars of the 20th century but in other capacities a well.
To make matters worse this year gatherings at war memorials or cenotaphs have been kept to a minimum. Even more than normal and for that reason we must ensure that we continue to say thanks, both in words and also through donations. The care of those injured whether mentally or physically is so important.
So this is straight out of the camera, and far from my best camera. I was very pleased with the results. No textures used here.
With this awful weather we are currently enduring, I was going back over some shots I took at Healey Dell and on the end of that file I found this shot, which I took on my way back home. I hadn't processed it so I thought it was worth a post as I haven't been out this last week with the camera.
This was a Remembrance display on the cobbled bridge over the River Irwell at Ringley, near Bolton. I had seen it on the TV News around that time and as I was passing I took a quick shot. I used to live not far away when I was a young lad and it was strange returning after all these years!
