Remembrance

Today is Remembrance Day, the day on which we remember those who died in military service for our country. The red poppy has been a a symbol of remembrance for many, many years. In recent times the poppy fixed to a small cross has been increasingly popular. This photograph shows some of the seven hundred planted in the grass near the tower of St Mary's church, Ross on Wye, each one in remembrance of someone who died in a conflict since the beginning of the Great War.
