| I thought they were real, too. Thank you for sharing this with us. I have been fascinated by Great Britain for years and count the one week I was able to spend in London among the best experiences of my life!

| Heartbreaking to realize the pain and loss that sea of poppies represent but what a wonderful tribute to your war dead.

| A stunning sight, isn't it....a surreal experience though. It's like looking down on a terrible river of blood. There are thousands of people there, but there is hardly a sound...everyone is so respectful. It is stunning and poignant, but amazingly beautiful, too.

'Normally' we too have the paper poppies that our war veterans sell, they're made not too far away from where I live - Jobs for Ex Military | Armed Forces Recruitment | Poppy Factory UK They've done this as well this year as it's the 100 year anniversary - and a wonderful tribute it is, too I had a look on The Tower of London website for you, but unfortunately all the ceramic ones have now been sold - sorry, I would have got one for you and posted it over, trust me to just miss out on stuff....
