HOW A SOLITARY WILDFLOWER REMINDS US OF THOSE WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE

                                         

STRANGE how a single, lonely wild flower can be such a poignant symbol of dignity. 

So it is with a solitary poppy that has flowered amidst grass along the popular seabank walk out of Humberston.

By a mysterious coincidence, the site where it has chosen to bloom is next to another, altogether bleaker, symbol of conflict - a concrete anti-invasion pillbox. 

It is still many weeks until Remembrance Sunday, but this lonely flower provides a powerful - and beautiful - reminder of those who gave their lives in battle.
