CHURCHES across Malvern and Worcester are marking Remembrance Day with stunning displays of knitted and crocheted poppies.
Volunteers have been knitting and crocheting the poppies over many months, which are then brought together to create an eye-catching display in the church.
The poppy cascade at St Peter’s Church in Powick was completely led by community members and features over 5000 poppies knitted, crocheted or made and then hand sewn onto netting.
The display at St John in Bedwardine Church in Worcester features over 8,000 poppies.
It was created by the Knit and Natter group based at the church with contributions coming from Cyprus, Northern Ireland, Plymouth, Portsmouth, and Bristol! It creates a spectacular backdrop to the war memorial next to the church.
Poppies can viewed from tomorrow (Saturday 8) until and Tuesday November, 11 from 10am until 4pm.
St James’ Church in Malvern will also feature a poppy cascade inside the church.
It has been created primarily by West Malvern WI with some poppies being crocheted or knitted by people in the village and friends and it will be hung in church ready for the start of the Remembrance weekend.
Great Malvern Priory are using empty plastic bottles, which children transformed into a poppy display at their family day and St Nicholas’ Church in Warndon will have a poppy cascade in place a from November 1 for a month.
