Armistice Day 2025: Community lay knitted poppies during remembrance service near Stanley Park
Residents laid knitted poppies in memory of fallen war heroes at a community Armistice Day service held on a Blackpool street.
A Blackpool neighbourhood gathered for a special Remembrance service, and laid hand-crafted poppies to honour the dead.
The service took place on Tuesday Nov 11, at the corner of Newcastle Avenue and Breck Road, which was attended by members of the Talbot community, including veterans and Police Community Support Officers.
It included a minute silence at 11am, and the lowering of the flag, next to an Armistice Day mural which included a knitted poppy helmet, wooden rifles and the Union Jack flag.
After a short service, people were invited to tie knitted poppies to the railings and write their personal messages of remembrance on wooden crosses to place in the ground.
