Routes of Remembrance
To those that travelled across the ocean to defend liberty, we remember your service. To those that never made it home, we remember you sacrifice.
Reads the note about the Routes of Remembrance.
Wreaths have completed poignant tours around the UK and beyond including the entire Tour of Britain Cycle Race route from Penzance to Aberdeen, Orkney, Shetland, Northern Ireland, Normandy, The Somme, Cyprus, Jersey and even The Falklands Islands.
Following the huge success and poignancy of our 'Poppies To Paddington' event last year, we expanded our unique act of remembrance to create Routes of Remembrance which covered the whole of the UK and beyond, enabling communities, Veterans, military units and many other organisations and groups to be a part of a very special tribute to our fallen.
Tributes completed poignant tours including England, Wales, Scotland and the Scottish Isles, Northern Ireland, Cyprus, Jersey and even The Falklands; one wreath covered more than 3000kms travelling from Penzance to Aberdeen, Orkney, Shetland, Caithness, Wick, Inverness, Belfast, Isle of Man, Windsor and to several sites in London, finishing at HMS Belfast and the Tower of London.
On 11th November, hundreds of wreaths and tributes journeyed from locations all over the UK to key destinations in time for Remembrance Services to honour the fallen.
