Big artwork is on selected Lincolnshire roundabouts to mark Remembrance
You can see giant poppies across the county as the iconic annual artwork has been painted on roundabouts across Lincolnshire to honour servicemen and women past and present.
Materials and labour have been provided by volunteers, who gave their time and resources to complete the installations across ten key locations ahead of this Sunday’s commemorative events and next week’s November 11 Remembrance Day.
The oversized red and black flowers will remain in place throughout November to act as a show of support for all those who serve, 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 ten roundabouts in Lincolnshire as part of the national period of reflection and appreciation.

- Gunby Roundabout, Skegness
