The poppy is a powerful and familiar symbol of remembrance, drawn from the flowers that bloomed across the battlefields of Flanders after the fighting ceased. The words encircling the sun are taken from Laurence Binyon’s 1914 poem For the Fallen, traditionally read aloud on Remembrance Day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eThere is no colour used in the landscape – a deliberate choice to reflect the bleakness and destruction of conflict.
