Natasha, Debbie, May I recommend another artwork that’s appropriate to Remembrance Day. It’s a painting called Menin Gate At Midnight, by an Australian artist called Will Longstaff. It is my favourite painting, full stop, and when I saw it displayed in the Australian War Memorial in Canberra on my first trip to Australia I was transfixed. I won’t describe it to you, but I will point you at this short AWM video on it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpzTdoedbMmpiqcsi=EuvM2QYle7WuYjMt And if/when you visit Australia, if Canberra is on the itinerary you must set aside time to visit the War Memorial and attached museum. It’s a moving and educational experience, and the largest collections of Victoria Crosses can be found there along with some of Will Longstaff’s literally haunting paintings.

Each ceramic Poppy was hand-made, therefore no two were the same; no two lives were the same - most poignant!

[@mandystewart-smith4944]

I was lucky enough to be able to help “plant” some of these poppies as my mark of respect.

[@Roz-y2d]

Lovely tribute.❤️

[@seanstanley-adams6511]

I was lucky enough to have been able to buy one if the poppies after the event which now sits proudly on my mantle piece. My great uncle flew in Turkey in WW1. In WW2 my father was in the Army initially and then in the RAF as a glider pilot and my mother was in the Army as an ambulance driver in London during the Blitz and V1/2 raids. My elder don is a submariner and I’m proud of all of them.

[@gillfox9899]

We bought a poppy for my eldest grandchild and it is a reminder of two of my family who lost their lives in WWI, one who is commemorated on the Menin gate and my great uncle Harry who was gassed and died after the war. My godfather also served in Gallipoli

[@cjscitcat]

I love my poppy. I bought it for my mother Sadly we lost her within a few yrs of owing the poppy. I keep mums poppy and teasure it. We took mum to see the installation in Oct half term 2014 and were moved by the beauty and vastness of the dispaly.

[@mjw5248]

I served in the British Army for 17 years and my proudest possession is one of those poppies.

That poppy field is the single most effective war art I’ve ever seen. My great uncle Albert isn’t represented there, but he was a victim of ww1, he came home from the Somme and killed himself a short while later.

As an ex British soldier, I would like to thank you, for paying a real and heartfelt tribute, to our fallen heroes. As you have paid tribute to the British forces, I would like in return, to pay tribute to all the members of the Commwealth, US, and other Allied countries, who have fought, and continue fight, by our side, in the struggle for freedom. Be proud of your familys military service, as they put their lives on the line, so people like you and me, could live free. All gave some, but some gave all.

[@juliadoherty83]

I always watch the Remembrance Sunday Service. My children grew up watching it and now their children watch it. It's important for young people to see, for just an hour or two, the severity of war, decades later. Our children were all in the cadets so they were taught about the carnage of war. Our second son intended to join the R.A.F., as my father, his grandfather had. Unfortunately, like me, he's colour blind so that didn't happen. I will watch this year, just like every year with tissues and tears. We will remember them. 💔😥💔

What a tribute! So kind and caring. From a vet of 24 years

​@@TheNatashaDebbieShow when I wear a Poppy. I wear it. Not just for the British soldiers who died in ww1, I think about the British tribes that saw off the Vikings in 1066, I think. Of Boudicca and her army. Going to war against the Romans, I think of Nelson and his sailors who saved our country from Napoleon, I think of the British soldiers and colonial soldiers in ww1, I. Think. Of our soldiers who fell in ww2, I think of the soldiers who fell in the Falklands war, I think about them all. And thank them for what they did for our country, R i p. Brave warriors.

I'm a Londoner who lives in Kent now. I travelled up to London to meet my family (4 siblings and 9 nephews/nieces) for a Ripper Tour that my niece wanted to enjoy on her birthday. We met at a pub very near the Tower of London and had a chance to visit and see the poppies before the tour started. I had two uncles (my Father's elder brother's) who I never met because they were killed in the war in Norway and Crete. I picked out a couple of poppies out of that sea of poppies and in my head thanked them and said that I wished I could have met them. Like you I respect those who served and at the same time wish that they hadn't had to.

[@lorrainejohnstone]

My grandad was in the Gordon Highlanders in ww1. Injured sent back gassed survived came home married my grandmother had eight children my mum being one. A true hero. Lest we forget. Love to you both from Aberdeen Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My ancestor was in the Gordon Highlanders in WWI. He was a corporal killed in his 23rd year in 1916. I was surprised to find that a lot of Lancashire lads ended up in the Gordon Highlanders.

[@bluesilvahalo3576]

Every time I pin a poppy on my chest I think of all those that fought, fight and have died in all conflicts in the past and to this day. I wear it with pride and thanks and always will ❤

[@ThePixey1000]

I ordered a poppy it cost £25 the money went to the veterans. Then I went down to London for the weekend and took photos it was an amazing display it really hit home and broke my heart. I thank the person that made / displayed / took down / packed / sent my poppy it means alot as a ex arm wife.

[@1chish]

For many personal reasons I greatly appreciate two respectful Americans wearing poppies to remember the British and Commonwealth veterans who 'gave their todays so we have our tomorrows'. I was also touched to see you wearing the poppies for animal veterans. They also served and died and were injured. There is a story that is relevant, tragic and touching: 'Theo' was an English Springer Spaniel who served as a bomb detection dog for the British Army whilst stationed in Afghanistan. His handler Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, was killed in March 2011, and sadly, Theo died within hours following a seizure. Let no one deny there is a special bond between handler and animal because that is why it works. They are a team. At the time of their deaths, the pair were the most successful individual working dog team in Afghanistan, having made more bomb finds than any other during the course of the five months they were stationed there. Theo was awarded the 'Dickin Medal' for bravery. It is often referred to as the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross. Normal protocol is for a military animal to be buried where they died and not repatriated. In THIS case the British Army repatriated the pair back together to the UK. It has never been confirmed if the pair were buried together or not but his mother says "Liam and Theo are where they should be."

[@tonyh3219]

I'll be remembering the tragic story of my Great Uncle George. His brother Sam was killed in WW1 in Northern France 1916. George waited for 2 years until 1918 to be old enough to join up. He still lied about his age and was just 17 when he was killed only about 20 miles from his brother , just 10 days before the end of the war. I've been fortunate to find both of their graves in France, the first person from the family in 100 years to find them. God Bless Sam and George. Thanks Natasha and Debbie.

[@brok328]

God bless Sam and George. One day we (the world) will learn to differ. Thanks for sharing.

This has touched me deeply, it’s hard to find any words that would come close to expressing my sadness, gratitude, love , respect and pride for ALL those who gave the ultimate sacrifice .but also those who did come home but will never be the same . We need to stop and remember and be thankful for our lives that they gave theirs to protect .

My brother served for 6 years back in 2000 to 2006. He lost a friend feet away from him due to a morter attack. Bless all the soldiers who have fought past and present.

[@josephinedewar4469]

My Grandad was killed at the Somme in WW1 leaving my Grandma with six children. My Mum was the eldest child - he died when she was 8yrs old. They faced great hardship like so many other families. Remembrance Day is special. I bought a Ceramic Poppy to put in my garden, but I keep love in my heart for the Grandpa I never knew. ❤

[@lesleyriseam1282]

The poppies descending from the windows went on tour and were displayed from historical buildings around the UK . There is a ruined Monastery near my home . It displayed the poppies for a short while and it was lite up with floodlights amazing hauntingly beautiful yet provocative . On a lighter note , though still respectful . Crafting groups around the country make crocheted Post Box Toppers . They have military themes for Remembrance day . So even Posting a lettrr becomes a small act of Remembrance .

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I hate war. I hate the idea of war. But I have nothing but utter admiration for anyone who is willing to put their life on the line in order to save those they hold dear. RIP my father Robert, who served in the Royal New Zealand Navy during WWII, running convoy support (and having his ship heavily damaged off the Solomon Islands), and my grandfather James, who was in the British Army in the Somme during WWI. Thankfully both returned from their service, but many of their friends didn't. Now, you two - hug each other. You need it after that.

[@clivethewritermadenglishma4042]

I was only 9 when my parents took me to see the poppies but I still remember that day. That year we all got a poppy from the display for Christmas which I didn’t quite appreciate at the time but now I’m very grateful I’ve got one.

I have volunteered here! Not this year sadly! But last! It was an absolute honour! Like so many! Fathers, grandfather's, sons, brothers, wives, all came together to not just lay these porcelain poppies, but to come together, share, cry, laughter, and most important to remember all our fallen We came as strangers, we left as family WE REMEMBER, I wear my poppy every year with sub pride ❤❤ 😔😔

[@damianmccoy6128]

Such a beautiful tribute to the fallen members of the armed forces. Your words at the start were heartfelt, moving and powerful. I always think of my family members who fought in the First and Second World Wars and the sacrifices they made. My great uncle joined the army in 1939 and was there from Dunkirk to the end. When we were kids he would tell us stories, but they were always done in a humorous way not revealing the pain and tragedy. After my great aunt passed away, the reality came out. The last time I saw him before he too passed away, he brought out his photo album of his time in the war. He would point to the lads he served with and told us when they had died. It was the first time I had seen him become emotional and the first and only time I had seen him cry. This hit me so hard and brought to me the pain and sadness he had held inside all those years. He was a wonderful man and he was, like all those of that generation who fought, survived or died, a hero. ❤️

[@Corky341]

I love you guys. Many, many thanks for your love and appreciation. (British Army veteran).

[@profwilliam5]

My father Capt. tanks, WW2, later in the war, visited Bergen-Belsen in April 1945. He never talked about that experience other than after I had visited that place of horror in 1971, when he said that he had visited and that it should 'never be allowed to happen again'. This weekend I will remember him and my mother, a nurse on the home front, they did not die in the war, yet a large part of them was irrevocably changed by their experiences.

[@jilllawton8556]

And again it goes on, the hatred and the bigotry. I’m 77 and to my shame I had no idea that this hatred could possibly be tolerated. I must have been living in a dream world.

It was insane to see all the poppies. My family was lucky as my great grandfather served for the four years and survived but I couldn't imagine what he would have seen and experienced. I am sure he knew many of those who the poppies represented. For remembrance day I also remember talking to my great uncle about his experience of D-day and getting injured and him showing me his missing fingers and where the shrapnel was still in his chest and the pride he had that he went to defend the country.

I now own one of these poppies. I’ve had it framed and now hangs on the wall. I was also really lucky to see it while it was installed at the Tower of London.

[@Boogledigs]

On the evening before Remembrance Sunday there is an amazing event at the Royal Albert Hall. It is an amazing combination - it begins with military displays/singing etc. Suddenly, the mood changes. A drumhead altar is set up, the clergy come in and a short religious service is held. During the two minute silence, poppy petals are released- one for every life lost in battle. They drift down onto the heads of the young military personnel and brings tears to my eyes every year. Such a waste of life.

[@PaulClarke-wm1pb]

I went to see the poppies one day during my lunch break, when I used to work in London and there were so many people, I couldn't get anywhere near them! I did manage to go back at 8am one morning before work and see them, and there were hundreds of people already there. It was very emotional.

I utterly appaud both you ladies because you show respect and compassion. With regard to WW2, both my parents went through it and both sets of my grandparents went through WW1 and WW2. My mother was a nurse during that war and my father was in the R.A.F.. No insult to either of you, but the Americans didn't support us from the outset in 1939. My father recounted some stories during his time during the war, but never other than once, 'In the first person my mother just told me that Dad was so traumatised. He told me when stationed in France; all about Doodlebugs or as we British kn ow them, as V1 Rockets

Hi Natasha and Debbie! We attended the poppy installation at the Tower of London. We also bought one of the ceramic poppy and placed it in a vase made from a shell casing which was made in the trenches. It reminds us of the sacrifice of previous generations and the men and women of the current forces willing to go and fight on our behalf. Thanks for showing this to remind us of the sacrifice.

[@TychoCelchu]

At the time that the poppies were there I worked about 5mins from the Tower. It was truly beautiful to see in the flesh. Every day there were huge crowds of people paying their respects. When visiting Kyoto, Japan I found a temple where they had a building which contained the names of every Allied soldier killed fighting against Japan in WWII.

Hello. I am a British veteran who also served (on attachment) with the US Army National Guard) in Texas. I try and sign up to march down Whitehall in London every year. Its a very moving experience. but the renowned (often misunderstood) military humour abounds. So much respect between the services, despite the rivalries. I am surprised the US do not do similar, but I know they do look after and respect their veterans and those serving.

My cousin paid to have our great uncles Poppy brought home from the display . His name was Walter Apps. He died aged 21 on 28th March 1918 from injuries he sustained during WW1. God rest his soul and God bless all those lives lost in battle 💙

My Great Uncle died on the Somme 16th September 1916, no grave, just his name on the Thiepval Memorial. They all shall never be forgotten.

Some of us were fortunate that we served during the Cold War and never saw real bloodshed but we fully appreciate what our fellow servicemen and women did and are doing for us.

The installation was called Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red and I have one on my wall with my own picture of the Tower installation. The poppies from the tower are called "Weeping Window" flowing out of the Tower and across the moat. The other 2 elements are the "Wave" and "Over the Top". I first saw them in 9th September 2014 and again on 11th November 2014 incredible both times

I saw the smaller installation here in Portsmouth when it toured the UK,such an emotional day never to be forgotten.My great grandmother lost 2 brothers in less than a week in WW1,she waved them off to war,after they died she would never wave to anyone again.😢

Yes, I was part of a group of work colleagues who volunteered and planted poppies at the Tower of London and it was an absolute privilege to be a part of. Whilst kneeling amongst the poppies it really hit home just how many, many lives were lost. Shocking, sad and humbling. We shall forever remember them.

I watched this and cried with you both . lest we forget

It was wonderful thing to see. We went in the afternoon and as the sun went down everyone went silent, it wasn't planned or organised, it happened, probably every night Amazing

Thank you for your respect of what our Poppy stands for A big thank you to all the men and women past and present for your service least we forget 🇬🇧🇱🇷

[@quilp6666]

I went to see this display and when it was dismantled was able to buy 2 of the poppies to remember the 2 great uncles of mine who were killed a few days apart during the battle of the Somme. They stand in my living room today.

I do not live in London, but I travelled down London, to go and see the poppies at the Tower Of London, and I’m so glad that I did. It was beautiful and very poignant. It looks impressive in the photos that I took and on the video your watched, but these images do not compare to the impact of seeing it in person. It was such a lovely way to commemorate the fallen.

Love it. My Dad died in 2018, 2 days short of his 100th Birthday. He was a bit of a joker and he'd told me as a kid that he'd been discharged from the army after being shot in the leg during basic training. I believed that until I went to his funeral in the UK. His medals sitting on his casket raised a bit of suspicion in me, so at the wake I asked my elder sister about it. Turns out he served in North Africa (mentioned in despatches) and Italy (mentioned in despatches) and Northern France. He was as English as they come, yet he was a fervent anti-royalist, until Princess Di came along. Love your videos, keep it up.

At this time of remembrance, there is a scene at the very end of the last episode of the British comedy show "Blackadder Goes Fourth" that is incredibly moving and gets me every time I see it.

I went to the installation at the Sculpture Park in West Yorkshire. It was amazing. So glad I saw it.
