I knew the weeping window display was travelling around the country but wrongly assumed they had all been packed away by now and forgotten about. Although I never made it to London to see them at the Tower (only online and TV news), I do think your Hull pictures have just as much impact. I was inspired at the time to buy one, just one, in memory of my Mothers brother Ray who was killed at Anzio Italy in the WW2. It is beautiful and sad at the same time. I've displayed it in a vase in my hallway so I see it everyday.

I live very close to London so took a group of WI ladies to see the Tower of London display. It's nice that other counties can get to see them.<br />Your photos are brilliant, pleased you had a nice day.<br />Hazel c ukhazel c UK https://www.blogger.com/profile/01638654030434369177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-43552467895587995922017-04-12T08:25:32.151+01:002017-04-12T08:25:32.151+01:00I don't know whether it's just me but I fo...I don't know whether it's just me but I found the Poppies alarming and made me tearful and very sad .I think it's a very strong message - extremely thought provoking .Thanks for the photos Ilona I hadn't seen any xflisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-63721202654243287092017-04-12T05:06:38.231+01:002017-04-12T05:06:38.231+01:00There are not many works of modern art which are a...There are not many works of modern art which are absolutely beautiful and have a meaning you can understand without explanations. At the documenta in Athens there is a room full of garbage they collected in the street and other things that make you cringe. <br />Thank you for the wonderful photos.

I'll go again when the weather is brighter and take some more. We also went into the Maritime Museum as it's been a while since I popped in. Won't be long before our next visit to your village fete and we'll be bringing some goodies again for your stall. Enjoy the rest of your week :)Lesley Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391675183992422658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-6275687250163623432017-04-11T23:50:20.609+01:002017-04-11T23:50:20.609+01:00This is absolutely beautiful and so poignant. :-/ ...This is absolutely beautiful and so poignant. :-/ Thanks for sharing!Jennifer Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552811423957687020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-61876081940117160362017-04-11T23:08:40.032+01:002017-04-11T23:08:40.032+01:00I find the poppies quite emotional and poignant.

I applaud Hull for recognising and honouring the fallen heroes of wars, fishermen who brave the sea every day and others who have lost their lives doing great service for their country.<br />During my research of my family history I found out that a few of my great-uncles from Yorkshire were in the Pals in WWI, not East Yorkshire, but in West Yorkshire and it's so true that there were a lot of fatalities and injuries in those Units. <br />I hope that other cities follow suit and have a Weeping Window on show, not only to remind us of what has been, but also of what is going on at the moment.<br /><br />Joan (Wales)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-83468111344079667212017-04-11T22:05:59.075+01:002017-04-11T22:05:59.075+01:00Wow!
