The Frome Branch of the Royal British Legion is setting a challenge to all ages to mark the last 100 days of the centenary of World War One, by making poppies for Remembrance Sunday displays.
Wednesday 8th August marked the Last 100 Days of the Centenary of WW1. One hundred years ago, the last hundred days still witnessed the horrors of war, until peace was declared on 11th November 1918.
With the poppies made by the Frome community, one or more displays will then be made that will form a significant focus for Remembrance Sunday, on 11th November, exactly one hundred years to the day of Armistice.
Poppies of all sizes will be welcome: knitted, croqueted, paper for indoors, pebbles painted…anything goes for Frome.
The Frome Memorial Theatre has kindly allowed the box office, which is open Monday to Saturday, 9.30am – 1pm, to be a drop off point. All poppies will be collected for creating into one or more displays.
For Frome, please show your support; get involved and make your mark on the Last 100 Days WW1 Centenary Commemorations.
For more information contact chairman Frome Branch RBL, Jane Norris, on 07776 208531.
