Thistleton volunteers knitted over 800 poppies to create a poppy fall  on the porch of Thistleton Church.  The poppy fall was the idea of Mick Sullivan and Shirley Tyler who created a smaller fall for the pulpit inside the church in 2021.  Sadly Mick died suddenly earlier this year but fellow Thistletonians were determined to complete the project in his memory as well as to remember those who have died in combat.

Inside the church there is a the original  poppy fall on the pulpit and a display where people have shared their memories as children in WW2, of parents who fought in the war or of active service in recent conflicts.
