Remembrance Day Knitted Displays in St Marychurch

The St Marychurch Yarn Fairies have decorated St Mary the Virgin Church in Torquay, with knitted displays to mark Remembrance Day.

A huge amount of time and effort has gone into the woollen tributes with poppies in trees, knitted soldiers and moving tributes.

Displays include the Purple Poppy that remembers animals, mainly dogs and horses, that lost their lives in war. The White Poppy is also displayed, it stands for remembrance of all victims of war, challenging militarism and a commitment to peace. 

Donation are welcome for the Royal British Legion. Remembrance Sunday is on Sunday 12th November 2023.

St Mary The Virgin is located at Fore St, St Marychurch, Torquay TQ1 4PZ
