Veterans Day

[Eva Elisabeth]

IMO the Wiki article on the poppies is fascinating and worth reading:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_poppy
...and there's also the Tower:
   
"The Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red exhibit at the Tower of London in 2014 on the 100th anniversary of the beginning of World War I which consists of 888,246 ceramic poppies, one for each British and colonial death."

...and here some photos showing how the "Queen visits Tower of London poppy garden":

The Queen and WWII remind me of the tough profession she learned in WWII - she's indeed a trained car mechanic.
