It's time to 'Pin Your Poppy'!

Pin Your Poppy 2026: Who’s your ‘Unknown Tommy’?  

Every poppy tells a story. 

Ahead of Remembrance Day, the PCC is inviting communities across West Mercia to pin a poppy to one of six ‘Unknown Tommy’ statues and share the story of someone they know who served... Making the 'Unknown Tommy' known.

The six statues can be found outside police stations in Telford (Wellington), Malvern, Shrewsbury (Monkmoor), Hereford, Kidderminster and at West Mercia Police Headquarters in Hindlip.

In November, the statues will be gathered together for a wreath-laying ceremony to remember those on the poppies, as well as former police officers and members of the Armed Forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the protection of others.
