Remembrance Sunday - November 11th 2018 marks 100 years since the end of The First World War.
As a special commemoration, the 5 ladies of the Kitting Group, along with their partners have decorated the railings and a new military style commemorative arch at St. Mary's with a 1000 knitted poppies.
The group have been busy for 9 months knitting the poppies which they attached to the railings and new arch on Saturday 3rd of November 2018.
Constructed from wood, the arch was designed and built by Jim McAlpine and finished in NATO Green by Terry Lewis. The arch's metallic military design and shape compliment the entrance to the church perfectly.
A small memorial with purple knitted poppies to commemorate the animals that died during the conflict has written on it:
'Purple poppies commemorate the animal victims of war, of which there were many
Animals in war are not heroes, they are the victims
THEY SHOULD BE REMEMBERED TOO'
