Being a resilient and fairly unemotional type of person, I surprised myself at how moved I felt during my recent visit to the Tower of London. The swathes of ceramic poppies filling the moat like a red river of flowers was a beautiful but tangible reminder of the thousands of people who died an untimely death in defence of our country during WW1. Although I err towards peaceful solutions rather than combative approaches to issues, I remain hugely appreciative of the ultimate sacrifices that so many people have voluntarily made over the years to safeguard the freedoms we enjoy today
