"The Royal British Legion’s 2014 Real Poppy project is intended to remember the start of the first world war in 1914
To commemorate this huge sacrifice, we would like to see Antrim covered in real Flanders poppies during August 2014, just imagine thousands of bright red poppies growing alongside roads, hundreds in every garden, hedgerows, fields, window boxes - the entire town covered in poppies.
During WW1, the total number of military and civilian casualties was over 37 million. There were over 16 million deaths and more than 20 million wounded ranking it among the deadliest conflicts in human history."
