SCOUTS have made an innovative poppy cascade of silhouetted soldiers to mark Remembrance at Wistaston Memorial Hall.

The display, made up of a 24ft-long cascade of plastic bottle ends resembling poppies attached to wire mesh, has been loaned to the village by the 35th (Wistaston) Scout Group.

It stretches diagonally across the front section of the hall with the two soldiers guarding the building.

Due to government Covid-19 guidelines there will not be a public afternoon Remembrance Sunday Service on November 8 at the hall this year.

But a live online Remembrance Sunday Service led by the Revd's Den Harding (Wells Green Methodist Church), Ken Sambrook, Paul North and Mike Turnbull (St Mary's Wistaston) - will be available to view from 3pm on the day via Facebook.

Diane Edge-Robinson, Vice Chair of Wistaston Memorial Hall committee, said: "It is a striking symbol of remembrance to remind us as we pass the hall of the 16 Wistonians who lost their lives in World War II, especially this year when we are all unable to commemorate in the Hall together."

Wistaston Memorial Hall was built over seventy years ago in memory of the sixteen men from the village who lost their lives in the Second World War.

Wistaston Scout Group started in 1958 and currently has 130 young people and 30 leaders & helpers. For further information you can visit.

To donate to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal place your money in an envelope and post through the letterbox at the front of the hall or donate via mobile phone.

To view the online service go here on the day.
