Two Stunning Poppy Displays Installed in Loughborough for Remembrance Sunday
Charnwood is located centrally within the triangle formed by Nottingham, Leicester, and Derby. Over one third of its 155,000+ population live in the vibrant university town of Loughborough.
In preparation for Remembrance Sunday, two moving poppy displays have been set up in Loughborough. These displays are located on trees in Queen’s Park and on the Forest Road Greenbelt. Each tree has been adorned with approximately 6,500 handmade, knitted poppies.
The project was organized by Loughborough in Bloom and the Forest Road Greenbelt Gardeners, with support from volunteers and community members. The decorations were completed ahead of the Remembrance Sunday service scheduled for Sunday, 9 November, in Queen’s Park.
Statements from Local Leaders
“This is a moving tribute to all those who have served our country and lost their lives in action. I would like to thank everyone involved with the poppies being knitted and installed onto the trees as they create a real centre piece ahead this year’s Remembrance Sunday service.”
“Loughborough in Bloom pays its respects each year to those who have served and lost their lives in the armed forces and it is fantastic to be able to dress the trees in poppies once again.”
The displays serve as a heartfelt reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces.
