Field of Remembrance

The Field of Remembrance is a memorial garden organised annually by the Poppy Factory in Westminster, London.

The packed lines of remembrance symbols in the separate plots can resemble a temporary military cemetery.

After the Field of Remembrance closes, the crosses are collected and burnt, and the ashes are scattered at the First World War battlefields in northern France and Belgium.

Any money raised at the event is traditionally donated by The Poppy Factory to The Royal British Legion.

The Field of Remembrance was first held in 1928, organised by George Arthur Howson, an officer in the British Army in the First World War and founder and chairman of the Poppy Factory.
