GB17A - Poppy Wave
Today we got up early and went out for a shortish trip across the Thames to Essex and the 14-18 War commemoration. Reggie included.
It's about 90 miles each way.
Shoeburyness was one of the Ministry of Defence bases along that stretch of the coast. Troops embarked from here to go to France during WW1.
The poppies are all hand made and planted here to show like a wave. Other places have different displays like in Derby the poppies flow from a window like a flood of water.
A beautiful tribute. And for them all to be handmade too. Nice to se you three out enjoying some sunshine.
