Pictured: a sand portrait of Lieutenant Colonel John Hay Maitland Hardyman, designed by sand artists Sand In Your Eye,  drawn into the sand on Weston’s beach to be washed away as the tide comes in. Lieutenant Colonel John Hay Maitland Hardyman, D.S.O. M.C. (28 September 1894 – 24 August 1918) was born in Bath, was an Officer in the Royal Flying Corps and was awarded for gallantry. In May 1918, aged only 23, he became the youngest lieutenant colonel in the British Army. In December 1914, he was accepted for officer training with the Royal Flying Corps (forerunner of the RAF) at Brooklands, Surrey, though eventually served with the Somerset Light Infantry. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. After the enemy had penetrated allied lines, John went forward through a heavy barrage to rally the troops and repel repeated enemy attacks over two days and three nights. He encouraged them through “coolness and absolute disregard of personal danger” to maintain a tactically important position. He was killed in action at Bienvillers, France, and buried in the military cemetery there. He was killed in France aged 24. Pages of the sea was devised by film-maker Danny Boyle and held at over 30 beaches across the UK on 11th November. Each event centres around a drawing of a large-scale portrait of a casualty from the First World War, designed by local sand artists, which will be washed away as the tide comes in.<br />

The Royal British Legion launch this year's Bristol Poppy Appeal, "One thousand poppies, for one hundred years, for one million lives" at Bristol Cathedral. For the launch of the 2018 Bristol Poppy Appeal at 11am on 27 October, the Royal British Legion recreated a scene from the end of WW1 outside Bristol Cathedral on College Green, and Colonel Clive Fletcher-Wood read the war poem In Flanders Fields. They were joined by Civic Dignitaries Peaches Golding the Lord Lieutenant of Bristol, City of Bristol High Sheriff Mr Roger Opie, and Bristol's Lord Mayor Cleo Lake. A Bugler and the Bristol Military Wives Choir performed songs from their new album ‘Remember’. Staff at MOD Filton filled 400 sandbags with eight tonnes of sand to build trenches and recreate 'Flanders Fields' and planted over 1000 waterproof poppies on College Green. Poppies and sandbags can be sponsored by individuals wanting to remember those who fought and died in conflict. There were re-enactors in WW1 uniform from Somerset Light Infantry (known as the West Country Tommys), as well as medics and nurses with equipment from the time. Bristol’s own ‘War Horse’ (Buzz from Blagdon Horsedrawn Carriages) was on College Green behind the improvised barbed wire to represent the 350,000 horses that left Avonmouth for the frontline during WW1. There are also 10,000 knitted poppies on display both in and outside Bristol Cathedral following 'The Charfield Yarn Bombers' incitement to locals to get knitting to mark the occasion, with a display inside the Cathedral organised by Helen Date.
