About
The Field of Remembrance is a field of scarlet poppies and memorials blanketing the Abbey's grounds, planted to remember loved ones lost serving in the Armed Forces. It has taken place every November since 1928, when The Poppy Factory brought a group of disabled veterans, a tray of poppies and a collecting tin to the grounds. From a handful of poppies around a single cross, the tradition has grown so that tens of thousands of poppies on wooden crosses and tributes are now planted every year, in its 98th year.
