If this is Tuesday, it must be England #115



I thought this was one of the most touching of the photographs from the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London this weekend.

Much has been written about the number of poppies she is wearing.  Although there is no official confirmation from Buckingham Palace, it is believed they are represent each branch in the war:  the Army, the Navy, the Royal Air Force, the Civil Defence, and the women who served.


The Duchess of Cambridge is also wearing a poppy brooch of note.  It is the Codebreakers' Brooch, an extraordinary tribute to those in signal intelligence.  The Duchess's grandmother and great-aunt both served as codebreakers at Bletchley Park in World War II.

  1. Such a touching photo of Her Majesty the Queen. Did you see the picture yesterday of her riding a horse near Windsor Castle. She's amazing!
