Today I received my poppy from the Tower of London that I had purchased. It arrived with a certificate & booklet telling of the meaning behind it. It is beautiful...the stem is 'weathered' from being outside, & it is much larger than I thought. I will look at it & think of all who gave their lives in conflict for us as a nation.

Oh wow, the display was fantastic (on tv), so to own one must be such an honour, such a lovely tribute to the fallen.

Always remember the ultimate sacrifice made by so many for us all.
Every year I play this to every class I have on, or as close to 11/11 as I can.
