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.
