Preparations have begun in Peasedown St John to commemorate and remember the village’s war heroes for this year’s Remembrance Day.

Peasedown Community Trust, established last Summer to champion civic and community pride in Peasedown St John, spent last Sunday morning putting up large poppies through the centre of the village.

Chair of Trustees, Gavin Heathcote, said: “Poppies for Peasedown is a community project funded by the Peasedown Community Trust.

“We have worked in partnership with the Royal British Legion to display these poppies throughout the community in honour of our village’s war heroes.

“Those that have gone before us sacrificed so much, so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. Thank you!”

The Trust will also be taking part in this year’s Village Civic Service on Sunday, 14th November.
