How sad that certain people post with what can only be described as anger in their hearts. For some time the Rememberance Service at Dover has brought out the worst in some people.I found that the poppy wreaths are very light a slight gust of wind and they easily get blown.At the Dover Patrol as you lay the wreath you have to secure it with a stone.The one year I layed a wreath at Dovers Memorial I had stones placed inside to anchor it down.Having a wreath blown away at Walmer Green I was always aware how light the wreaths are.The Dover Memorial is very exposed unlike some I our district.Here in River the wreaths are fixed with a hook to a wire.
I think the gales were announced in good time and precaution was taken.Think how dangerous it would have been if wreaths had blown into the road or on the foot ways.
The Act of Remberance has taken place and if you really want to remember those who fought and died for their country then learn to live peacefully with one another not score points as to who or not attened the service
Personally I think the field of poppies leading up to the Sunday always look lovely around the memorial.Well done to those who arrange this.
