Swindon Adopts Poppy as Unifying Symbol for Remembrance
The red poppy, a long-standing tribute to those who have served and died in the armed forces, now adorns civic buildings and lampposts throughout the town.
“November is a time to remember those that have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country,”
Council Leader Jim Robbins said the move aims to bring the community together and ensure remembrance remains respectful and inclusive. The poppies give residents the opportunity to remember those brave people on a daily basis while travelling on the roads.
Residents are encouraged to attend the two remembrance events taking place at the Cenotaph in the town centre this Sunday and on Remembrance Day itself, next Tuesday.
The switch to poppies during this period is intended solely to reinforce the solemn nature of remembrance.
