Kilmarnock War Memorial
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kilmarnock War Memorial located in Kilmarnock, Scotland; was built in 1927 to remember everyone who fought in the First World War. The imposing structure takes the form of a Grecian temple. Inside there is a figure cast in bronze, ‘The Victor’, who’s head is bowed in silent contemplation of the cost of war. The memorial has nearly nine hundred names inscribed in it, a staggering number as the population of the town during the Great War was only 38,000. During the first world war around 12% of UK soldiers were killed; in Scotland it was nearer 25% as Scottish regiments were often sent ‘over the top’ in the first wave. The monument also commemorates those who fell in the Second World War.
Remembrance Day – also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day (the event it commemorates) or Veterans Day – is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918 (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended “at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice). The day was specifically dedicated by King George V, on 7 November 1919, to the observance of members of the armed forces who were killed during war; this was possibly done upon the suggestion of Edward George Honey to Wellesley Tudor Pole, who established two ceremonial periods of remembrance based on events in 1917.
A knitted sphere cover was installed outside Vodafone side door in Maastricht Friday 23rd April 2010 at about 7.30am The picture gallery from Connielene is here
There were 3 balls and the one closest to the road was covered with the red and white Vodafone logo knitted piece. Vodafone Maastricht Ball Cover
We are about 3 hours from Maastricht so cannot report if the knitted cover remained after 3.30pm on Friday.
A new piece of knit graffiti will be installed on Friday morning in Maastricht, before breakfast even. There are several issues for the installer – it will be daylight, and it hasn’t been tested. Best Beloved did the measurements, hope he recorded them correctly
But the question is “Will it be an Orange piece”, or Will it actually be the Red & White one? Whichever colour it is, it will be round.
Orange or maybe it will be Red & White
This was photographed on the way to the Keukenhof Gardens, on Saturday last. A globe in flowers, fantastic.
All part of the spring floral fantasia held here in the Netherlands every year, and what a celebration it is, with the annual flower parade on Saturday 24th. The parade arrives at around 9pm and the floats will be on display for good photography on Sunday.
