A summer scene of an uncultivated meadow of red poppies near the village of Turville ( famous TV location for Mid-summer murders and Vicar of Dibley in Buckinghamshire, Britain Every June, during the English summer uncultivated fields around the British isles, are filled in a blaze of red as poppies bloom into a vivid red. The poppy is an agricultural weed and is a symbol of Remembrance Day, a memorial day when artificial ones are worn. It became a Flanders poppy that represents the blood of those killed in battle in the fields around Flanders in Belgium during the first World War. It also represents the Second World War and many other conflicts observed by Commonwealth countries
