It is sad to think of all those wars.

The loan figure in among the poppies is a guardsman playing the last post. He is wearing a great coat which is why you can’t see his distinctive uniform.

This is the greatest memorial for the fallen heroes of WW I … it’s sad to think that during the last 100 years… there have been so many wars Cherie!

I hope they won you round in the end

The concept was inspired, ‘The Tower of London’ knows how to pay respect. It is also the keeper of the history of England, it does that well too.

I agree that seeing all those poppies and knowing each one represents a life (and death) really does bring it home.

It was a stunning work of art, very inspirational and I think that it was a good for educating younger people.

Yes those who think anything to do with the ‘Poppy Remembrance’ symbol is nationalist do completely miss the point!

Worked out very nicely, those poppies.
