Members of the Mission Community of Littleham cum Exmouth with Lympstone have been busy knitting over 1000 poppies for a grand display at Holy Trinity Church.

A spokesman for the church said: "Each poppy represents many thousands of the fallen, who gave their lives for others. Once all the poppies had been collected, came the task of sewing each one individually onto the display."

The poppies are all hand knitted and will be displayed in the church for some time after Remembrance Sunday, which took place around the UK yesterday, (November 11).

There are spare poppies available at the Church, with all proceeds being donated to the Royal British Legion.
