    It's Remembrance Day here in Canada too, of course, and it will be especially poignant given recent events in Quebec and in Ottawa.

    Your post is a lovely tribute...Lest We Forget, indeed.

    Peace to All Beings.

    What a moving tribute. Leave it to England to find a quiet elegant beautiful way to honor the fallen.

    We just went and read more about the poppies. What a spectacular tribute. Wish we could see it in person. And, we did of course notice the minis were appropriately outfitted for their tribute! Awesome post my friends!

    I will remember all the heroes today. We wish we would be in London to see all the poppies, maybe next year and maybe then we can count all that poppies together?

    That’s pretty and symbolic but it seems like such a waste of poppies that can used to make some rock star’s heroin. Remember the Vets.
