On Guard - the great knits are ready for commemoration event and promoting Poppy Appeal as memorial is 'yarn bombed'

By Neil Speight 26th Oct 2021

GRAYS war memorial has three new visitors in the build-up to the coming Remembrance Weekend and civic service on Sunday, 14 November.

Three figures representing the armed services have been crocheted by Grays resident and Royal British Legion supporter Sabine Oakley and have been placed by the memorial as a reminder of the service and to promote the annual Poppy Appeal.
