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

With restrictions around the UK on social distancing and large gatherings, that hasn't stopped the Peasedown Community Trust finding new and innovative ways to mark the annual event.

The Trust, established during the summer to champion civic and community pride in Peasedown St John, spent last Saturday 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."

Peasedown Community Trust will also be taking part in this year's Village Civic Service on Sunday 8th November, with Gavin Heathcote laying a wreath at the War Memorial located in St John's Church.

Volunteers that took part in last week's Poppies for Peasedown display were Gavin Heathcote, Ferdo Dizdarevic, Cllr Karen Walker, Cllr Sarah Bevan and Nathan Hartley.
