Robin’s Diary
Over the weekend, I went past the church in Otley and was blown away by the display of Poppies. I then noticed the lamp posts adorned with large poppies in Eldwick. I am pleased to say that these are not isolated displays of remembrance, however a few years ago, I am sure I can remember the Poppy Appeal suffering a little as it perhaps just didn’t fit in with the PC ideas at the time!! It certainly is now, and more so than ever before!
And now the choice of poppies is quite amazing – lots more than the old paper and plastic poppies, but big ones, knitted ones, enamel ones, twinkling ones, just about any sort of poppy you could think of!! Even though it is the incredible 100 year anniversary this year, I can’t imagine the displays and the popularity of this quite amazing and now flourishing sign of thanks and respect will ever wain.
I have thought about why times have changed, and maybe I am thinking too deeply, but could it be in some way down to art??
Eh??? what’s he talking about (you’re all thinking)!!! No I’m certainly not going to say I can see the meaning in a pile of bricks, or even begin to understand a lot of modern art, but I do believe the poppy display at the Tower of London a few years’ ago might just have been the trigger to change perceptions and allow everyone to publicly display their gratitude and thanks to all those who have given their lives for others, lest we forget, and isn’t it just amazing it is now popular, and certainly PC to support the poppy!
