'Beautifully coloured' poppies decorate Shepshed
Thousands of poppies have been created by children and volunteers to remember the fallen in a Leicestershire town.
More than 1,000 primary schoolchildren in Shepshed have made "beautifully coloured paper ones", says organiser Gill Moore. The paper poppies are already on display in the windows of businesses and houses.
But the bigger job for organisers was to create five different displays on Saturday from 15,000 crocheted and knitted poppies - the handiwork of 300 volunteers.
成人快手 Leicester's Adele Wilkinson went to meet the people behind the project.
