Knitted poppies for Remembrance

In many regions of the UK, people decorate street furniture with knitted emblems and motifs. Here, before Remembrance Sunday (when we remember the fallen soldiers and animals from the Great Wars), the people of Yarm, North Yorkshire, have decorated a postbox with knitted poppies (for the poppy fields of World War 1) and even a small soldier!
