Poppy Roundabouts Arrive in Lincolnshire

Giant poppy artworks have been painted on several roundabouts across Lincolnshire to mark Remembrance. These oversized red and black poppies honor servicemen and women, both past and present.

The materials and labor were generously provided by volunteers who dedicated their time and effort to complete the installations at ten important locations before the upcoming commemorative events this Sunday and Remembrance Day on November 11.

The poppies will remain on display throughout November as a visible tribute to those who have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces.

Cllr Sean Matthews, Leader of Lincolnshire County Council, who visited the site in Boston while the poppies were being painted, said:

“This is in remembrance of those heroes that have meant that we are free. We do this to remember those who have fallen in the past, those who fight and protect us now as a tribute for Remembrance Sunday.”

The artworks are sprayed onto the central islands of ten key roundabouts across the county, contributing to the national period of reflection and gratitude.
