Giant Poppies

[EcclesCake]

Do any of you live in a town that has giant poppies positioned on roundabouts or wherever?

For the past two or three years we have had them but I cannot recall seeing them anywhere else.

Yes some appeared yesterday on the village green railings close to the local cenotaph. A new innovation here.

Haven't seen any here but I think that's a brilliant idea.

Wonderful way to Remember.

[EcclesCake]

They are nice to see, a poignant reminder to remember, if that makes sense.

They warm my heart when I see them.

[ummmm]

I haven't ventured out far enough for a while. I'll keep a look out.

[albaqwerty]

makes perfect sense to me, Eccles.

Poignant, that's the word I was wanting !

Cemetery behind our house is a CWG, and the number of solitary white crosses make me want to sob.
Local primaries and other organisations lay a poppy on their grave on Remembrance Sunday.

we have pigs on our roundabouts....

there might be poppies too, haven't seen them yet if there are

[wolf63]

Fluff, bacon pigs or nee-naw pigs?

[EcclesCake]

Do you see sausage potential in everything you look at Fluff?

[EcclesCake]

^^^ I could have phrased that better!

[mccfluff]

'do you see sausage potential in everything you look at Fluff?'

more than likely, apart from the silly man who sits next to her lol

[EcclesCake]

I'm liking the pigs!

There are giant poppies all over the streets/buildings in Marsden in the Colne Valley, haven't seen this before this year.

[Smowball]

Yes we’ve got them on all the lamp posts here - they look lovely.

[Caran]

We have them all round our town centre. Never seen them before.

[shoota]

We have them in our borough, along the roads which link all the memorials. It is a RBL initiative apparently but we have one chap who has taken it to heart this year and organised the widespread placing of them on lamp posts and trees.
I have one side my house.
Some were torn down nearby but have been replaced.
They look fantastic.

[EcclesCake]

Just been into a neighbouring town and they have poppies on all the lamp posts. They are pleasing but the giant ones in our town are much more striking.

Not that it matters, the day is being marked and that is what counts.
