I am pleased you found it interesting.
You did really well to find the article on the origins of the (unusual) phrase...

Hi Steve,
Thank you for visiting!
Glad you like it.
This church is next to the pub which hosted the firework display. The entire cemetery wall was covered in poppies too, but it was too dark to make a picture.
Certainly "We remember them"
Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,

Those who forget history are condemned to relive it again.
Don't remember who's quote it is.

Hi Isabel,

Thank you for visiting and your thoughts. I looked on the internet..
The quote is most likely due to writer and philosopher George Santayana, and in its original form it read, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

Best Wishes
Peter

I did some research too meanwhile! The first to say so is supposed to be Confucius.... and after Santayana, Churchill is supposed to have used the sentence too, but no concrete proof of it has been found in all documents about him.

Hi Peter.

The poppies English symbol of the Fallen and the lamp universal symbol of remembrance emerge so significantly and evocatively from the darkness, that however it allows us to see the
impressive.church.
Lest we forget.

Thank you so much Bea,

I am so pleased that you have enjoyed it, and written such nice words. I did look for some other pictures of this church in daylight, but I don't have any on ipernity. Unfortunately it was too dark to make nice pictures that night (except for this bit).

Maybe if I go back past there I can take some more..

Best wishes
Peter
