We got up early this morning and drove up to London to see the poppies at the Tower of London. They were certainly worth the visit. The poppies are absolutely beautiful. It is quite a stark reminder of the huge amount of people who lost their lives in World War One and is very moving to see. I was not the only one who was moved to tears. Such a simple idea but an amazing memorial.
Alfie came too and wore his poppy red collar and lead as a tribute to the fallen.
For my blogger pals that don't know, the poppies are ceramic and each one represents an individual from the UK and Coomonwealth who lost their live in WWI. The poppies are on sale for £25 each with all the money going to veterans charity. Once the poppies are removed later in the year, the buyer will get his/her poppy sent to them along with a commemorative certificate.
