Thousands of handmade knitted and crocheted poppies, donated by local residents, have been used to create the display outside The Cross Foxes.

Landlady Donna Cutajar and her team wanted to create something meaningful to remember the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives for the country, while also bringing the community together.
