Start Of Poppy Fortnight

[horsencart]

There was a small ceremony today in Victoria Square to mark the start of Poppy Fortnight I have to admit this was the part that got to me, I make no excuses for publishing it, https://www.flickr.com/photos/dofartshavelumps/30551419221/in/dateposted/

One small thing is it the Lord Mayor of Brum? or is it the mayor of Brum?

Birmingham has a Lord Mayor. It became a Lord Mayor in 1896 when Queen Victoria issued "letters patent". Not sure why.
