Today we remember - those who paid the ultimate price 🎖️,

and the many, many more who’ve quietly checked themselves out since.

You are not forgotten.

Those still fighting their battles.

You are not on your own.

Please talk.

Each year, the Remembrance period brings a powerful stillness to communities across the UK — a pause to reflect on the lives lost in conflict. This striking poppy display at St Annes Parish Church does exactly that.

Thousands of handmade poppies cascade from the church tower to the ground, symbolising the ongoing flow of remembrance from generation to generation. Seen from above, the red trail cuts through the old brickwork and gravestones — a vivid reminder of sacrifice and resilience.

The installation was created by local volunteers, each poppy representing care, memory, and community effort.
