Poppy tribute stands tall

A spectacular wall of red poppies has been crafted by St Paul Apostle South Primary School in preparation for Remembrance Day.

Staff and students hand-crafted poppies and pinned them to the wall as a special tribute to the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

The school is set to hold a special assembly on 12 November, hosting Vietnam War veteran Bill Rogers and Korean War veteran Les Hughes.

Poppies, wrist bands and badges were also sold to support the RSL.
