"Remembering the Sacrifice: A Reflection on Remembrance Day" On 10th November 2019, as Manchester United faced Brighton and Hove Albion in a Premier League clash, the spirit filled the air. The solemnity of this day was echoed by a poignant service held at The Cenotaph in Middlesbrough back in November 1971. Transporting us to London circa 1922, an image captures Whitehall adorned with wreaths and poppies, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. In that same era, young army cadet poppy sellers lined Linthorpe Road in Middlesbrough during November 1975, symbolizing their commitment to honoring fallen heroes. While some celebrated love on this special day like Michael and Annette Owen from Tamworth did when they exchanged vows on 11th November 1972, others paid homage through powerful imagery. A poster illustration depicting a soldier alongside his rifle against a backdrop of poppies served as a constant reminder of bravery. The significance extends beyond borders; candles flickered before Dresden's Frauenkirche commemorating lives lost during World War II. Similarly, Canadian flags fluttered proudly outside a seniors home as they honored this important occasion. Crosses adorned with heartfelt messages were planted into lawns worldwide as people united in remembrance. Even Munich witnessed such reverence during the early years after World War I when German war dead were honored before the Army Museum. Intriguingly taking us back further in time is Odilon Redon's painting "Flowers: Poppies and Daisies" from around 1867. This masterpiece reminds us that even then, flowers played an integral role in remembering those who gave everything for our freedom. Lastly, we recall King George V placing the first wreath upon the Cenotaph back in 1919—a powerful black and white photograph that encapsulates the solemnity of this day.
