Hardly seems a year since Derby hosted, for a few short weeks, this magnificent tribute to those who sacrificed so much in WW1 and the conflicts that have followed….. But a year it is, and still talked about by many as a very fitting tribute in a unique location.
The Silk Mill, Derby.

It is still happening across our world…. And even across Europe there is still great intolerance and hate….. Sad reflection on society that still hasn’t learned

I’ve seen pictures of this at the Tower of London as well. Such a moving sight.

I missed it when it was first introduced to us in London…..it was just so busy. So it was a welcome surprise when little old Derby was one of the locations selected on a UK tour. Not as big as the Tower of London’s display but the big benefit was that here you could get up close which I think we found we could relate to and much more moving. (Derby had to be selected as a location as the designer/artist/sculptor and the factory that made the poppies was based in Derby)
