Memorial Day

 

Happy Mother's Day

 

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and caregivers of human and animal children.  To my Mum, my sister, and my mother-in-law in heaven, and to all my friends near and far, have a lovely day and I hope you are spoiled. 

Remembering my Mum - everything I learned about love, respect, kindness, and compassion and a thousand other things, I learned from her. The pain of losing her will never go away, but the wonderful memories keep her in our hearts every day.

VE Day

Remembering those who served and came home, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

If this is Tuesday, it must be England #184

The Queen and Harrison Machin, 5, plant the final poppies in an installation at the Tower of London to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War. This act of Remembrance saw Her Majesty representing all those who served the Nation, with Harrison planting his poppy on behalf of the younger generation.
 
‘The Tower Remembers’ installation recalls the sacrifice and resilience of the wartime generation and will stand as a reminder of the long-lasting impact of conflict.

The Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz, will display nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies on the lawn to mark the year of Remembrance.
