Handcrafted poppy display unveiled for Remembrance Day

A 45 ft (14m) structure of handmade poppies has been unveiled in Barnsley town centre.

Forming part of the town’s Remembrance Day commemorations, it was created by the Barnsley Opals Women’s Institute in collaboration with other community groups.

The display features more than 3,000 knitted and crocheted flowers and is draped from the roof of The Glass Works.

Sarah Dunn, of the institute’s committee, said Remembrance was an important time and they wanted something for the wider community to have as a “mark of respect for our fallen soldiers and all those who have served”.
