Any time dad and I walk past the town's war memorial, I always dislike that the council allows cars to park right up in front of it (free car park right across the road).

Massive blue truck within a foot of the memorial board, seems terribly thoughtless & disrespectful to me.

Francis William Doyle Jones' 1922 statue of Peace Crowning the Heroes on the Partick and Whiteinch War Memorial in Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow. You only really notice how beautifully sculpted this statue is, especially the mateiral, when the light hits it in just the right way.

I've scanned the war memorial at Burntwood Memorial Institute into #Scaniverse.

I spent a little more time on the filming and I particularly like how you can zoom in on the names and on the collection of painted stones at the back.

The memorial in Kelvingrove Park to the members of the Highland Light Infantry, traditionally a Glasgow regiment, who died in the South African War (aka the Boer War) between 1899 and 1902. Sculpted by William Birnie Rhind, it was unveiled in 1906, making it the city's oldest public war memorial.

At Westkapelle, history and landscape meet in powerful ways. On our third day there, we walked from Westkapelle towards Domburg and passed several war monuments — solemn reminders of the tragedy that struck this coastline in WWII. In 1944, Allied forces bombed the dikes to flood the area, a painful but tactical move to hinder German occupation. The cost was immense: many lives were lost, homes destroyed, and communities displaced. Liberation came, but at a heavy price.

Beyond the monuments stands the small but striking Vuurtoren Noorderhoofd (North Head Lighthouse). Painted in vibrant red, it watches over the sea — a beacon of safety, but also a symbol. To me, it represents both remembrance and resilience. We cannot erase the scars of the past, nor should we. They remind us of what unchecked hate, racism, and aggression can bring.

Yet the lighthouse also points forward. Just as its light guides ships to safer waters, so too can memory guide us toward a future built on peace, justice, and vigilance. “Never again” was the promise after WWII — a call not only to remember but to act, wherever injustice rises.

History is not behind us; it’s beside us, shaping every step. Standing there, with the sea winds and the red tower against the horizon, I felt that message deeply: look ahead, but never forget.

In the background, there is also a tall structure that seems to be a church or cathedral, showcasing gothic architectural elements.
