They weren't silent long.

Perhaps better if posted on the 11th?

I went past Westminster Abbey today and saw something I have never heard about but was so simple yet so moving

Apparently since 1928 they have been making a field of crosses in the grounds of the abbey. Simply a regiment gets roughly a plot 8 x 4 and small crosses bearing a poppy have been planted in the Field of Remembrance to pay tribute to British servicemen and women who have lost their lives in conflict.

Google it

Enough to bring a lump to the throat of any man

The Queen  Mother always supported this every year for decades until her death, not sure if a Royal Family member still attends  since her death      http://www.britishpathe.com/video/queen-mother-visits-westminster-field-of-remembran/query/poppies//
