Poppies on display for Remembrance Sunday

A collection of handmade poppies has gone on display in Plymouth.

The camouflage net holding the poppies was donated by RMB Stonehouse and has been hung on the Council House balcony for Remembrance Sunday, on 12 November.

The weatherproof poppies have been created and donated by schools, knitting clubs, council staff and members of the public.

The Lord Mayor, councillors and members of the public attended the unveiling of the poppy display on Monday.

The project was developed by Armed Forces Champion, Councillor Pauline Murphy.

Ms Murphy said: "I am so pleased that the project was a success.

"This is a huge passion of mine and I couldn't thank everyone who helped with the project enough.

"The ongoing support has been incredible.

"To everyone who helped make and donate the poppies, the staff members who helped attach them to the net and everyone who showed their support, thank you.

"I am so proud of this project and really pleased with the outcome."

For safety reasons, the display will be raised every evening by the Council House security staff and then lowered again the next morning.

The display will be raised during the weekends.
