The West Midlands is marking Armistice Day with displays of knitted and crocheted poppies at landmarks across the region.

Volunteers have been creating the poppies over many months to create the eye-catching displays.

Community groups, schools and friends of churches have been involved in producing the displays.

At some churches there are as many as 8,000 poppies cascading down their towers.

In Stoke-on-Trent, the Spitfire Gallery at the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery is decorated with thousands of crocheted poppies, while in Ludlow the community has come together to create poppies for a display on the town's Georgian House.

Services of Remembrance were held across the West Midlands to mark Remembrance Sunday, with many others set to gather for further commemorations on Tuesday, the actual anniversary of the end of World War One.
