There was plenty of coverage in the media at the time though. It was lovely to be able to see part of the original. Many of the poppies were sold to raise money for charity, but two parts of the exhibition, 'Wave' which we saw and 'Weeping Window' are touring the UK.<br />You're so right - it is sobering but beautiful to look at.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-73951236417873875062016-07-07T16:22:56.396+01:002016-07-07T16:22:56.396+01:00Thanks, Amy.

I can imagine how impressive the whole sculpture at the Tower of London was.<br />I loved the painting the moment I saw it and persuaded Mum and Dad to get it for my 21st birthday. I still treasure it and so enjoy seeing it.<br />It is so important to remember the sacrifices made. <br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-67110177248737403512016-07-07T12:39:12.541+01:002016-07-07T12:39:12.541+01:00Lovely post.
