Yellow Ribbons anywhere?

I saw last week a report on the BBC News about an American woman in Stoke-on-Trent who had started a yellow ribbon campaign in her neighborhood. I would have posted this on the weekend if the board hadn't gone down. But I've wanting to know if anyone has seen any yellow ribbons up anywhere? I've been wondering if the Brits might take to this tradition.

Yellow ribbon campaign?
What are they campaigning for?

Campaign may not have been the right choice in words, but my meaning was that she was convincing the neighbors to hang yellow ribbons in support of the troops.

Here's the article at BBC

And according to that article, it is a campaign after all.

It's not unheard of here.  I know when John McCarthy was a hostage years ago, there was a yellow ribbon campaign.  

Don't know about the U.K Leah but here in sunny,tropical,and SNOWY New England (well it is April 4th!) they abound . Little park across the road from me has 35 alone and theres many others wherever you go.

I've not seen any in my area yet
