Each year on Armistice Day in the U.K. (a.k.a. Remembrance Day here in Canada), the children of the town (Selby) 'adopt' a war grave and plant a poppy cross on it.
This year, the children have also taken to painting rocks.
Here are a couple of photographs taken by friend of the Moose Jaw Express Bryan Wilcockson who lives in the U.K. of the grave of a brave Canadian. Can you see the little rock on the right of the poppy cross with the Canadian Maple Leaf painted on it?
The flags are a bit weather worn though.
Armistice Day itself was a bit unusual due to lockdown with the COVID restrictions. The Government would not allow residents to attend the ceremonies, so everyone stood on their front doorsteps to observe the silence.
It is said to be very eerie when you can hear a bugler sounding out all across the town.
