🌹Few moments in television are as profoundly moving as the final scene of #Blackadder Goes Forth.
The laughter falls silent. Our heroes go over the top. And the battlefield fades into a field of poppies.
A heartbreaking reminder of a generation lost.
It is now 37 years ago that the last episode of #Blackadder Goes Forth was screened. This TV gold concluded 3 hrs of unmatched of comedy to many of us. But there was a deeper message throughout encapsulated in this moving final scene.

In this episode we visit the Arras battlefield and discover the story of a cavalry attack in April 1917 at Monchy Le Preux. We tell the story through the eyes of the men who were there, including 1 man who was saved by his horse. #WW1

'The Flanders Watch' by Laser Hut. Installed in time for remembrance season, this impressive 7-foot-tall welded steel sculpture is outside St. John The Baptist Church, Royston, #Barnsley#WW1#WW2
@TerryWhenham I watched it last night, Terry. Really enjoyed it (8/10) but I don't possess the necessary WW2 qualifications to comment beyond enjoying it. I'll leave that to the experts!
