Poppy Road

Just north of where I live, neighbours have transformed their street into 'Poppy Road' with thousands of poignant red blooms and statues of soldiers to mark the centenary of Armistice Day
The street was home to 56 First World War soldiers and hundreds of houses have been turned into tributes to the fallen soldiers with red poppies. Some of the houses also feature black silhouettes of soldiers, to symbolise that a soldier who died in the Great War lived there. Here are just two of the houses.
What a lovely tribute.

I have never seen anything like this before!

@fbailey I suspect we may be seeing the beginning of a whole new trend. Sadly, it will probably be commercialised and exploited.

That is a pretty fine display - although I confess on first seeing this, my initial reaction was that Christmas had come early.
