These bronze poppies have been installed at the yet to open underground Anzac Station, which is close to the Shrine of Remembrance war memorial. This photo was published by The Metro Tunnel Project. Nice to remember the fallen in all the hideous wars, and sadly with wars ongoing. Especially thinking of the Ukraine.

A simple and poignant mark of remembrance and respect.
ReplyDeleteI have visited your Shrine of Remembrance, with P quite a few years ago now, and found it very impressive and moving.
It is a wonderful building, and quite upgraded since you would have seen it, and all very tastefully done.
DeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteRather beautiful poppies for Remembrance Day. Sadly we still haven't learn about the evils of war.
ReplyDeleteWill old men, ever stop sending young men off to kill one another?
ReplyDeleteWe need these reminders........
