IBCC Lancaster Poppy Display
In the UK, the red poppy is the national symbol of remembrance. Poppies are flowers of the fields which, despite the devastation and horrific loss of life in war torn Europe, flourished and grew on battlefields. The Lincoln VE 80 Project will honour the occasion with a Service of Thanksgiving, on the 11th May, and an installation of stunning handcrafted ceramic poppies, shaped into a Lancaster Bomber, created using over 20,000 individual and unique flowers and accompanied by an exhibition, will be on display from Easter until the end of August.
The Lancaster poppy display has been created by artist Darius Sirmulevicius, a Ukrainian now living in Louth. Each one is being sold to raise funds for the following charities:
- Lincolnshire Bomber Command Memorial
- British West India Regiments Heritage Trust.
- Wooden Spoon Trust
These collectible and unique poppies can be pre ordered and will be sent out in their Spire shaped boxes with their Certificate of Authenticity in September.
