I have copied this by Capel-Le-Ferne Parish Council from FB regarding the poppy fall over the Battle of Britain War Memorial but nothing more local. This will be so very moving much like the poppy fall at the end of the Albert Hall Remembrance Service on Saturday.......
*** UPDATE *** YOUR HELP IS REQUIRED PLEASE!
SUNDAY, 10th NOVEMBER @ 11AM. Kent Police are aware of the event!
Three-quarters of a million poppies are to be dropped over the White Cliffs of Dover in an emotional tribute to the fallen for Remembrance Day.
This event will obviously, weather permitting, be a spectacular event.
PLEASE COULD WE ASK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN PARKING CONSIDERATELY IF VISITING THE VILLAGE FOR THIS.
Residents, it would be appreciated if you could walk to the Clifftop/Memorial Site and visitors, as the Memorial Site has limited parking, to park considerately by not blocking residents driveways or in a dangerous way. Thank you.
=============================================
THE POPPIES ARE BIODEGRADABLE
Three-quarters of a million poppies are to be dropped over the White Cliffs of Dover in an emotional tribute to the fallen for Remembrance Day.
An original Second World War Dakota aircraft will fly over the landmark at exactly 11am on Sunday, flanked by two Spitfires.
As the nation falls silent, the Dakota will soar above the Kent countryside to mark 74 years since the end of the Second World War.
Veterans from several conflicts, including the Second World War, Northern Ireland, Iraq and Afghanistan, will signal the drop from on board the Dakota as the formation reaches the sky above the cliffs.
The event is the brainchild of Kent-based Aero Legends, with proceeds going to the annual Poppy Appeal.
