A GROUP of residents at Kings Lynn residential home have created a display of knitted poppies ahead of Remembrance Day.
Residents Pam, Edith, Druie, Catherine and Christine, assisted by helpers Julie Godfrey (the activities co-ordinator at the home) and Druie’s daughter Georgie have all been knitting poppies for the past eight weeks to create a visually striking display.
Margaret from the local Knit and Natter group has been coming to the home on Tuesday afternoons to sit, knit and natter with the residents.
Julie said: “We’re always keeping our residents busy doing little creative projects, and we have a special connection at the home to the Armed Forces and the Royal British Legion.
“All the knitters have really enjoyed working on this lovely project and the finished result is really striking.
“Remembrance week is always very poignant for so many of our residents, so to do this activity and for them to talk openly about their memories while knitting the poppies has been really special.”
