One month left to 'Pin Your Poppy'

A call for communities to gather, create and remember

With just over one month to go till communities come together to remember those brave souls who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the protection of others, the PCC is inviting communities to create poppies and pin them on to one of six 'Unknown Tommy' statues across West Mercia.

The creation of the poppies are part of the PCC's annual 'Pin Your Poppy' campaign, which culminates in a special wreath-laying ceremony where all six statues will be gathered together for a service of Remembrance.

The PCC and West Mercia Police proudly support the Armed Forces community, with many former service personnel continuing their dedication to public service by joining the force as either an officer or police staff.

The PCC also funds Remember Veterans, a programme that provides dedicated support to military veterans who are in contact with, or at risk of becoming involved in, the criminal justice system.  

In order to gather the statues together for the wreath-laying ceremony, the deadline for getting your poppies pinned on to them is 9th November.
