Remembrance Day: Killamarsh village adorned with amazing knitted poppies and decorations

The poppies were knitted by residents of Killamarsh, who worked throughout the year to make this a reality.

The decorations were displayed at Killamarsh's War Memorial on Kirkcroft Lane, where they adorned the bench, fences, and trees.

The war memorial pillar commemorates those who died during the First World War, Second World War, and Afghanistan War.

Today, the UK came together again for Remembrance Day, with the pandemic having put paid to public commemorations last year.

Remembrance Day Sheffield: Bugle rings out for two-minute silence in city as ceremony returns after Covid

A two-minute silence is observed to mark the end of World War One in 1918 on November 11 at 11am annually.

The silence is observed then because Germany and the Allies declared the end of hostilities ‘on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month’.

The poppy is the traditional sign of remembrance, with individuals wearing pins and arranging poppy wreaths.
