Crochet poppies have been added daily at a little area by the road under two huge beech trees. They are so small, but so bright and one cannot help but see them when driving past. A tribute to all those who have lost their lives in conflict.
Lest We Forget was originally penned in the poem 'Recessional', by Rudyard Kipling; actually dedicated to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897; asking God to spare the British Empire, 'lest we forget' (the sacrifice of Christ). https://365project.org/travel/365/2017-11-07
A fitting tribute, my grandfather fought in the First World War and my Dad served in the RAF during World War Two. Both survived but sadly my Grandfather died in the 1930’s probably as a result of breathing mustard gas in the trenches. Armistice day always makes feel so lucky at 60 years of age I have not had to risk my life in a War. I hope the same will true of the generations to come.
