Twyford community creates display of 1,000 poppies

The tribute, which is around its Memorial Bench facing the crossroads in Twyford High Street, features more than 1,000 crocheted and knitted poppies.

The display was unveiled and was quickly met with scores of positive comments on social media.

The project was a community effort, with the poppies being donated and created by different members of the public.

It is estimated that more than 1,000 hours of volunteer work went into creating the display.

Other poppy displays have also been created in the village, including in the village telephone box library and in Twyford St Mary's Church.

The churchyard at Twyford St Mary's Church is recognised for its Commonwealth war graves.

The display will remain in place until after November 11, as a reminder of the sacrifices made by people and animals in past years, and to support past and present members of the British Armed Forces.

A village spokesperson said: "With the continued participation of the community and parish council support it is hoped the display will be repeated and refreshed for years to come."
