I know many were sold off individually but I'm glad that so many were kept together to continue to make the point of the original sculpture - that each one represents a life.

He always had red poppies in his garden. They came up every year . I've tried but I can't seem to grow them but times have changed and it never seems to rain here any more so the ground is rock hard. <br />It must have been lovely to see the wave and the original display at the Tower.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-63454104368087066982015-10-21T20:57:48.891+01:002015-10-21T20:57:48.891+01:00Poppies are amongst my favourite flowers, but I ca...Poppies are amongst my favourite flowers, but I can never look at them without remembering.

To me it is a very emotive day of remembrance and gratitude. Anzac Day has always and will always mean so very much to me...more than I can describe here.<br /><br />The spirit of the Anzac now goes beyond that fateful landing on the beach at Gallipoli, 1915 and the battles that ensued there and elsewhere, including those at Fromelles and Villers Bretonneux. We will never forget those who lost their lives or those were injured; nor will our future generations.
