A project is underway at Bangor Cathedral to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1918 Armistice and to remember the 40,000 men and women from Wales who died in World War I.
The aim is to knit 40,000 poppies which will be displayed in the Cathedral from the beginning of September (Battle of Britain-tide) until Remembrance Sunday.
When the display is dismantled the poppies will be sold for £1 each in aid of various armed forces charities, which will include The Royal British Legion.
Poppies can be knitted, crocheted or made from felt and Bangor Cathedral would love the whole community to be involved in the project. The display will be amazing and all for a good cause.
If you can knit or crochet and would like to help, you can send your knitted poppies to Ty Deiniol, Cathedral Close, Bangor LL57 1RL by 20th August 2018.
