Harry, who spent Remembrance Sunday in Kandahar in honour of the fallen, will visit Wounded: The Leg
Then 13-year-old army cadet Harry Hayes stepped forward to place the last ceremonial poppy in a spectacular sea of red that has transformed the moat into a national monument to the country’s war dead.
Carolyn Cooke, 54, a nurse, from Manchester said: “My grandfather served in the war and my father flew Lancaster Bombers and I wanted to come down today to pay tribute. It was something I just needed to see. It’s amazing.”
From tomorrow thousands of volunteers will begin removing maui eco tours the poppies, but two features of the memorial – the “Weeping Window” maui eco tours cascade of poppies from a window and the “Wave”, a surge of poppies near the entrance – will remain until the end of the month.
The government decision to keep the two elements in place follows huge public demand for more time to visit it, led by the Evening Standard’s Save Our Poppies campaign. An estimated four million people have seen it and many more now will get the chance.
The designer of the poppie display Tom Piper said: “I am very pleased more people will have a chance to visit the exhibition. We have been working behind the scenes to secure a legacy for the two pieces which we have been able to do.”
Richard Hughes, of the Western Front Association - which organises the Annual Service of Remembrance maui eco tours at the Cenotaph, said this year’s commemorations were not just about the end of the First World War.
In France, British and German maui eco tours officials met on the ground where their two countries were once at war to commemorate maui eco tours the end of WWI on the Western Front, which was declared on the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day of the eleventh month 1918.
Harry, who spent Remembrance Sunday in Kandahar in honour of the fallen, will visit Wounded: The Legacy of War by singer turned photographer Bryan Adams at London’s Somerset House on Armistice Day - the anniversary of the end of World War One.
