The beautiful poppy display, knitted by Limestone view residents & Parishioners is now in place on the fountain in the Market Place. A big thank you to Chris & Ryan from Knight Stainforth Hall Caravan Park for putting the display up.

The display includes Red Poppies for Remembrance of the fallen in both wars. Purple poppies for the animals that served during wartime and White Poppies for the hope of peace.
There is space around the base should anyone wish to add to the display and place their own poppies.

Lest we forget ❤️
