RJRB Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I am referring to the numerous bunches of flowers etc. left at various favourite places ,benches,roadsides ,lamp posts etc. to commemorate someone. I am not very keen on them as basically they turn to litter within days. Plaques on benches etc I can appreciate and can be interesting and permanent and frequently provide a useful bench paid for by the donor. Its no big deal,but not a custom that I am keen on.

The_DADDY Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It seems to be the 'in thing to do " these days. There's a new one on the parkway near the retail park which is quite large. I'm in two minds about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ01 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I love them - I always treat my wife to a bunch of flowers (& occasionally a small teddy) every time a new one appears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that they didn't have permission to build it that big though, so I guess the council would be within their rights to have it down. Be riots all ower!!

The cemetery workers must have seen the cement mixers delivering to the site along with Diggers that were there, My self and other family members actually spoke to some of the relatives who were laying the cement / concrete.
