A daily photo from Ōtautahi, Christchurch, New Zealand
This morning I attended the dawn service for Anzac Day that was held in Cranmer Square. It was a very moving service and made me think about one of my grandfathers who fought in World War One. He was a motorcycle courier I believe – probably a very dangerous thing to do. He came home though, unlike so many other young men. The service was very well attended.
I am always reminded of the poem In Flanders Fields when I see these poppies. A very moving post!
