I was looking through some recent videos of France and noticed the 'ceiling' over the Toll booths ( 50.135016, 1.811536) between the A29 and the A16 on the Somme.

As you can see it's covered in vivid coloured poppies and I wondered if anyone else had noticed this poignant reminder of the Somme battles.

We missed it as we travelled in the dark through that toll some weeks ago.
I'll take a look next week when we travel through again, this time in daylight.
What a lovely gesture though

Isn't the French version of the Brit Poppy a blue Cornflower?
