A 5-year-old boy joined Queen Camilla to plant a poppy at the Tower of London, according to a statement issued by the royal family on Tuesday.
Representing the younger generation, Harrison, 5, stood alongside Queen Camilla, who planted a poppy on behalf of those who served during the World War II.
The royal family shared multiple pictures of the queen and the plants with caption, “The Queen and Harrison Machin, 5, plant the final poppies in an installation at the Tower of London to mark 80 years since the end of the Second World War. This act of Remembrance saw Her Majesty representing all those who served the Nation, with Harrison planting his poppy on behalf of the younger generation.”
“The Tower Remembers’ installation recalls the sacrifice and resilience of the wartime generation and will stand as a reminder of the long-lasting impact of conflict.”
“The Tower, which was itself bombed during the Blitz, will display nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies on the lawn to mark the year of Remembrance.”
