A CASCADE of poppies is once again flowing down the side of St John’s Church in Keynsham in time for Remembrance commemorations.
The poppies – knitted and assembled by members of the Royal British Legion and other local residents – fell from the church tower four years ago and proved too heavy for volunteers to put back. But now local company Alide Hire Service has come to the rescue, and the poppies are back in place.
A church spokesperson said: “We are indebted to Alide Hire, who have willingly supplied, at no cost, the hoist equipment to make this happen.
“Keynsham is well prepared in advance of Remembrance Sunday, with the Royal British Legion displaying poppies through the High Street as a poignant reminder.”
St John’s will hold a Remembrance service on Sunday November 10 at 9.30am, to which all are welcome.
