Remembrance

On Friday while in Devon we visited RHS Rosemoor.  It was a bit of a grey day, although we avoided the worst of the weather. One of the first things we saw was this commemorative display.

The sculpture of the life sized ‘Unknown Soldier’  is by Devon artist George Hilder, is surrounded by ceramic poppies by South West artist Renée Kilburn. There’s a hundred of these poppies throughput the garden to commemorate all those who fell and to celebrate the centenary of the end of the First World War.

Together, they are poignantly beautiful.
