Remembering

Last week I went to see the field of rememberence at Westminster Abbey. I didn't take my proper camera with me and took this using my work blackberry. I was trying to find the poppy for a soldier who was killed in Afghanistan earlier this year and comes from my home village of Dafen. It was however too dark and I couldn't find the one with his name on. This is a pic of some of the poppies from the Afghanistan section and behind you can see hundreds of crosses from the First World War. It is truely mind blowing when you are confronted with physical representaions of every solider that has died for this country.
