Jan Flavin explained: “We have added to last year’s display, including a swoosh of purple poppies to commemorate the animals that did not return from the conflicts.

“We have also added a soldier silhouette, purchased from the Royal British Legion, and two horses head silhouettes adorned with purple poppies.

“We are so pleased with the display again this year and want to thank all those who knitted, crocheted or stitched the poppies, all those who attached them to the net (a much bigger job than you might think) and all who put them up on the fence opposite Chawleigh shop.
