Marown Church Honors Fallen Heroes with 524 Handcrafted Poppies on Remembrance Sunday

The Marown church community marked Remembrance Sunday with a striking display of 524 poppies, knitted and crocheted by parishioners. The poppy fall, created by volunteers led by warden Chrissy Carter, added a poignant touch to the service, honouring those who gave their lives in conflict. This year's service was significant for another reason. It was the first time the names of those from Foxdale were included in the roll of honour. The community gathered to remember all those from the parish who made the ultimate sacrifice. Chrissy Carter, the driving force behind the handcrafted poppy fall, turned her idea into a reality with the help of dedicated volunteers. The poppy fall, with its 524 red, white, and purple flowers, served as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by local heroes. The Marown church community's commitment to honouring the fallen was evident in the care and craftsmanship put into the poppy fall, making this year's Remembrance Sunday service particularly meaningful.
