Beautiful and dramatic, Radstock is dressed ready for Remembrance services on Sunday
Radstock's wheel is ready for the services this weekend to remember the war dead.
The wheel opposite the museum now has a large poppy wreath aloft on the structure, while below, red, white and blue poppies cascade from one of the spokes.
A reminder of the times of all the services this weekend.
