Each ceramic Poppy was hand-made, therefore no two were the same; no two lives were the same - most poignant!

Aussie combat vet ALL veterans are divided by distance but connected by spilled blood, But l will NEVER consider myself a hero,the true heroes are represented by those red poppies.🇦🇺🇺🇸 LEST WE FORGET

I served in the British Army for 17 years and my proudest possession is one of those poppies.

I am a British Army Veteran. I would like to say THANK YOU for your Respect. Thank you to your families for their sacrifices and heroism. Your words moved me to tears. THANK YOU. Lest We Forget.

That poppy field is the single most effective war art I’ve ever seen. My great uncle Albert isn’t represented there, but he was a victim of ww1, he came home from the Somme and killed himself a short while later.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. We will remember them. Lest We Forget

My wife’s great grandfather fell and died on the first day of the battle of the Somme. We managed to have one of the poppies in his name. We now have the poppy, with his medals to be passed down to the next generation. It had been fantastic to hear his name on the roll of honour. Total respect always 😢

The poppy memorial was the most poignant thing I have ever seen. In my mind, one of the best pieces of art of my generation . THANK YOU to every volunteer who made it a amazing spectacle for all to see .

Its hugely encouraging that two Americans can take the time out to not only observe and comment but crucially understand others abroad. Natasha and Debbie, thank you for your attention, effort and understanding, we need more like you around the world..

My partner John, his great grandfather died in the First world War in battle. We went to the Tower to pay our respects. We also bought his poppy. It now stands Pride of place in our home.

I live only 50 miles from London so I was able to go twice to see the poppies. They were a sight to see indeed. Such a massive loss of life it's impossible to comprehend.

My now husband and I went to see this and it was breathtaking and moving, people from literally all around the world. Later the display was taken into the country on a smaller scale and we were lucky enough to see it at the local garrison, equally moving equally breathtaking.

I don't want to name them but during the 2 minutes silence I picture the faces and names of each and every comrade I lost. Yes, I tear up every time. Gone, but not forgotten. "We Will Remember them"

An amazing tribute to all the fallen commonwealth heroes who served their countries so proudly. Lest We Forget 🇬🇧🇦🇺

I travelled from the Midlands to see the poppies and it was awesome…..and what you cannot see is the atmosphere, the air of respect as people moved closer was palpable. I’m lucky enough to own a ceramic poppy. When it arrived it still carries the dust/mud from being in the Tower of London Moat and I wouldn’t dream of cleaning it.

So proud to be British that we can remember our soldiers this way

What a tribute! So kind and caring. From a vet of 24 years

My grandad was in the Gordon Highlanders in ww1. Injured sent back gassed survived came home married my grandmother had eight children my mum being one. A true hero. Lest we forget. Love to you both from Aberdeen Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
