War Memorial

The War Memorial in Cockermouth Cumbria covered full of crocheted red poppies to mark 80 years since the end of World War Two in Europe on the 8th May 1945. "Lest We Forget"
very visible - very powerful

@bjywamer Thank you for both your comment and Fav Barb, I understand the poppies were made by local ladies and the local schoolchildren don’t know how long it will be on display, the poppies are a symbol of remembrance for the fallen of all wars since the end of the First World War in many parts of the world:)
