Lincolnshire County Council is honouring the county’s fallen heroes this November with striking giant poppies painted on roundabouts across the county, including The Quadrant on the A16 in Boston.
The large-scale artwork, now an iconic annual tradition, has been created to pay tribute to servicemen and women past and present as communities prepare to gather for Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day.
Each poppy has been installed with the help of volunteers, who generously donated their time, materials, and expertise to complete the work at ten key locations across Lincolnshire.
The vibrant red and black poppies will remain on display throughout November as a proud and poignant reminder of the county’s respect and gratitude for those who have served, and continue to serve, in the Armed Forces.
Cllr Sean Matthews, Leader of Lincolnshire County Council was on-site to see the giant poppies being painted in Boston and 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 large flowers are being sprayed onto the centre island of several roundabouts in Lincolnshire as part of the national period of reflection and appreciation.
