Some of the best Remembrance postbox toppers from around the country. They appear quietly every November, knitted and crocheted over weeks and set out on the postbox at the end of the road. A Tommy in his tin helmet, standing over a ring of poppies. A pair of boots laid down between two flags. A nurse wheeling a stretcher under an arch of poppies. A soldier's horse, head bowed, above a postbox buried in red. Army, Navy, Air Force and the nurses who went with them, all remembered side by side. The colours mean different things. Red for the lives lost, purple for the animals that served and died, white for peace. Royal Mail has said it appreciates the creativity, with one request: leave room for the post.😀
