    Been creating this remembrance themed planter over the last week or so, got plants to add and a reclaimed army helmet to rest on the top of the cross yet, but happy with my tribute so far :)

              @Bilbo675 Looks lovely - a very tasteful and fitting tribute to those who lost their lives and the families who mourned the tragic loss of the many immensely brave men and women- Certainly depicts the message- We salute you all "Gone but most definitely never forgotten" :imphrt:

                    Very fitting! :love30:

                    If I had to be picky (and I really am being picky here :redface: ) I would have set the helmet at an angle.

                    Love the planting :thumbsup:

                      Thank you :), it is at a slight angle, perhaps angle of photo cancels it out :rolleyespink: :biggrin: :)
