The 'Fladbury flow' was created to mark 100 years of the Royal British Legion.
A display of nearly 4,000 knitted poppies has gone on display outside a village church.
It started as a post-lockdown project for neighbours Angela Fowler and Elaine Stevens, in Fladbury, Worcestershire, who said they were surprised by its success.It has also raised money for the Poppy Appeal. The pair started by getting people in the village involved, but the idea spread and they received contributions from all around the country and ended up with 3,902 poppies.The "Fladbury Flow" has been installed outside St John's the Baptist Church
As well as raising money for the poppy appeal, it's aiming to tell the stories of those who died in both world wars. Ms Stevens said: "To be part of a project where I met members of the community and build those friendships has just been amazing."
