Paying respects to the fallen soldiers, these striking displays are fitting tributes to the region’s war dead.
They include a life-sized crochet soldier outside a church, thousands of woollen poppies knitted and crocheted by residents and playgroup children planting purple poppies to remember the animals that lost their lives in the war.
