I have just clicked on the link above for M&S as they have some really lovely bouquets at 20% off just for today with free next day delivery. It is a special day for my sister tomorrow, so I have ordered one for her. They look stunning, I think you can rely on Marks for their flowers.
Last night I was really surprised. Way back in August I ordered 3 of the ceramic poppies from the Tower of London.- Blood Swept Lands And Seas Of Red. One for me, one for Torin and one for Rhys. My grandfather was killed in the First World War. He was 26 years of age. I also applied to have his name read out on the Roll of Honour. I heard nothing and knowing that 888, 246 were lost in that war, I was not surprised. Imagine my surprise when I received the email below………….
“Thank you for submitting a name for the Roll of Honour at the Tower of London. We are delighted to confirm that your nomination will be included at the ceremony on 11th November 2014.
The list of names will be read from the poppy-filled Tower moat at sunset, starting at 10.30am. The names will be read the order in which they were submitted and validated. We regret we are unable to make changes to the reading lists at this stage.
At the end of the reading, which will take about 20-30 minutes, the final poppy will be planted in the moat, and an Army bugler will play the Last Post. This will be followed by a two minutes silence.
If you would like to watch, you can get a good view from the area in front of the Tower ticket desks on Tower Hill. We are anticipating that the area will be busy so advise that you arrive on site by 10.00am.
We are filming the ceremonies and an archive site where you will be able to view the videos is currently under construction, we will let you know when it goes live.
We are also adding the lists of names being read each night at http://rollofhonour.tumblr.com/ so that they can be seen and remembered from anywhere in the world.
Thank you so much for your support for the Tower of London Remembers project.”
Quite honestly I am stunned that they have chosen the ceremony on Sunday to read his name. The whole family will be very proud. I wanted to go and see the poppies last time we were in the UK but we just didn’t have time. They have already emailed to say that my three poppies will not be sent out until Jan/Feb which is a bit of a shame as I wanted to give them to the boys as part of their Christmas present. Now Boris Johnson is trying to keep them for longer. I paid out nearly £100 in August (including the £5.95 postage for each one) and it seems now it may be even longer until we get them!
Well here it is, they have just released the John Lewis Christmas ad………
