Poppy Remembrance Display in the Park

The Friends of the Wickford Memorial Park installed a knitted poppy display around the Beacon and plastic poppies around the Remembrance Ave Trees and the Civilians Garden Trees.
There were 28 volunteers and 10 children from Wickford Church of England School helping to install flags and crosses too. These were supplied by the Royal British Legion and the Wickford War Memorial Association.
It is a fantastic display and we would like to encourage people to visit.
We found it very emotional.
Wickford Town Council was represented by Cllr Kim Oakes; Cllr Stephen Oakes; Cllr Derek Harrison and Cllr Geoff Whiter.
Many thanks to all volunteers.
