🌺 Honouring Our Local Heroes 🌺
As Remembrance Day approaches, we are proud to see beautiful poppy displays appearing across our community, created through the dedication, talent and generosity of local volunteers.
A special thank you goes to Pauline Tuckey, the wonderful Knit & Natter Group at Elm View Care Home, and the fabulous group of volunteer residents from Stortford Fields, who have created these striking tributes.
You'll find a stunning window display at Elm View Care Home (just behind the bus stop on Newland Avenue), along with several road signs around the community adorned with handcrafted poppies tributes. The road signs themselves are named after local fallen soldiers and these displays serve as a poignant reminder of the ultimate sacrifice they made during World War I.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed their time, creativity and effort to make these commemorations possible. Together, you have helped ensure that the stories and sacrifices of our local heroes are remembered and honoured.
Thank you to all our volunteers for helping keep their memory alive. ❤️
