Remembrance Day

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II lays a cross during the opening of the Field of Remembrance, in honour of Britain's fallen heroes in the grounds of Westminster Abbey in central London, Thursday November 10, 2005. Each wooden cross bears the name, many hand-written on the pale wood, of a lost loved one, a scarlet poppy and a message of commemoration. The thin stark symbols lie grouped in nearly 250 regimental plots representing those killed in long-ago battles from the First World War to those who died more recently in the Iraq war.
