A stunning suspended carpet of poppies and a silhouette soldier was put on show in Diggle to mark Remembrance Sunday.

Resident Janet Iles created the poppy display at their home to mark the occasion, which recognises the contribution of the armed services and the sacrifises they have made over the years.

The silhouette soldier was made with the help of her husband Geoff.

She said: “I decided to recreate what I did a year ago and invite people from the community to add their poppies too. 

“I sent out invitations and instructions on social media  and lots of people in Diggle responded.

"A big thank you to Gary Tarbuck from Diggle Village Association who fixed the netting to the roof edge for us, and to Diggle Brownies who made lots of poppies and lovely wreath out of their hand shapes, which takes pride of place on the cascade of poppies.

“In addition this year my husband Geoff and I created a ‘soldier’ for the garden at Kilngreen and ‘planted’ some of the poppies in the grass to make a display.

“If anyone still wants to place a poppy in Remembrance of someone in their family please do so.

"We will be keeping the display up for another week or so after Sunday.”
