A creative community group has unveiled its stunning and poignant Remembrance Day display, filling a North Yorkshire town with knitted poppies and service personnel. 

Thirsk Yarnbombers has showcased its talents yet again by putting up its 2024 Remembrance creations in Thirsk Market Place. 

Following other designs and displays for Christmas, Easter, the Coronation, and other special events throughout the years, this Remembrance display was all about paying respects to the fallen and celebrating North Yorkshire's military past, present and future.

Featuring various knitted versions of soldiers, pilots, nurses, and members of the women's brigade, all of which featured heavily in the First and Second World Wars, the stunning centre-piece is the poppy display that shows red and purple poppies placed on Thirsk town centre's clocktower.

The poignant display was created, as all the others are, by an army of volunteers who are part of the Thirsk Yarnbombers. 

It will be used as a backdrop for various Remembrance events over this weekend, before becoming a display for Monday's (November 11) Remembrance Day 

The display will be in Thirsk up until November 17.
