AncestryEmma A fitting tribute not only to lost British troops, but also to their brave combatants, Germans and Central Powers of WW1&WW2, the Argentines, The IRA, The Taliban and others. Brave souls all of them.

Did they get the permission from the mcb?

I'd like to meet anyone who finds this offensive. Only so I could sit them down and have a respectful discussion about why they find it offensive. If then shove a poppy down their throats and tell them to f*ck off back to the hole they crawled from

Why is the tribute bit in air quotes. It's a tribute. That is what it is.

The snowflakes at peoplesmarch will probably tear it down in disgust

Hope the Cambridge University tossers aren’t offended...🤔🤔

This is where people in their thousands should be getting on a bus to, not some tantrum in London today

Very nice very nice.

Ya saben que hubo una segunda guerra mundial, como son tan nostalgicos...

Why? Surely there are better and more practical ways to remember that help society

One in every City around the Country would be a great tribute to all those who gave the Ultimate sacrifice, so that we can sit here peacefully in our own country. I don’t want to hear any of the idiots saying we shouldn’t be honouring the war dead!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I hope they’ve checked this is ok with Cambridge_Uni students as wouldn’t want to glorify war, also have they checked with the Muslim council As they often like to burn poppies hopefully they’ll allow this in Britain just this once as they run the country now

Wonder how many ‘sjws’ this has triggered because it “promotes war”...

Maybe someone needs to install a giant poppy at Saltash

I'm waiting for the reaction from the snowflakes ..

Tribute to a war? Perhaps remembrance

Wouldn’t pacifist giants be offended by this poppy 😉

Concerned this may offend someone flying over

What beautiful idea. There should be more of these giant poppies around the United Kingdom in memory of all those that served and lost their lives in not only WW1 and WW2 but also in The Falklands conflict and the Middle East. You are and always will be HEROES. R I P. X

ManuelVela85 Poppy!!

Why do poppyies symbolize world war one? I have he answer. We'll see if somebody can guess.

Any incoming poppy bashers please walk straight off that cliff

Look forward to EDL members sieg heiling nearby 🙄

Poppy 'Christmas tree' marking WW1 sparks outrage as shoppers call it 'disrespectful'A POPPY tree displayed at a city mall to mark WW1 has been slammed as “disrespectful” by furious shoppers. Critics vented their fury on social media after the “artwork” went… Sparking serious outrage, or are you making it up for clicks 🤔 sad Somehow it doesnt feel disrespectful, not when you consider all the missed Christmas celebration and spaces at the table and children and grand children that were never born .... Any business with a Christmas tree before 1 December should pay double business rates on each day the tree is present. And in the case of M&S, make it treble for this one.

WW1 hero finally added to MPs' memorialA former MP killed in action in World War One finally has his name added to Parliament's memorial. Totally different to the M.P.s today. He put himself on the frontline to save his men. Can`t see the Johnson Brothers doing this? Nor,Corbyn,Clegg, Blair, Cameron et al. May his gentle soul continue to rest in peace. I'm sure it's going to make a big difference to him.
