It’s 10 years since the stunning and emotive display of ceramic poppies, one for each allied soldier killed in the First World War, at the Tower of London.
Today, the nation marks Remembrance Sunday, 110 years after the war broke out and almost 106 years since it ended.
Ed Davey said:
Remembrance Sunday is such an important day for all of us. We remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, for our peace and for the future we all share.
We must never forget their sacrifice nor can we forget the veterans, many of whom will march past the Cenotaph today. They still bear the scars, both mental and physical, from their service, and our country can and must do much more to support them.
Alex Cole-Hamilton spoke at Holyrood this week and remembered not only those British soldiers who had died in conflict but Ukrainians who are fighting to protect our freedoms.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them. pic.twitter.com/5dmcvgKEkx

We have no idea what history will say about Keir Starmer and it may not be right anyway
Is Kier Starmer the new John Major?
A bargain at 23 guineas?

The Voice, “remembered not only those British soldiers who had died in conflict”….
Not just soldiers, Voice…….. but airmen, sailors, marines and civilians.
“It’s 10 years since the stunning and emotive display of ceramic poppies, one for each allied soldier killed in the First World War, at the Tower of London.”
I was working in the area at the time, watching it grow and the poppies flooding the moat, was something to behold. Obviously, the timelapse animation makes this experience accessible and more readily appreciable, especially to my, now young adults who only saw the final display and now our family’s poppy.
How about those who worked behind enemy lines often in dangerous areas. I heard today about the glider pilots.
